An accessible resource for lecturers in science, health sciences, and engineering, as well as for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers preparing to teach.

In this booklet, Ben Verheijden offers a number of highly practical tools to help you gain a better grip on your work and think clearly about your next steps.

The book also addresses common challenges in higher education teaching, including working with diverse student groups, using virtual learning environments and engagement tools effectively, and linking formal teaching with co- and extracurricular activities. Examples and case studies help lecturers evaluate and refine their course design over time.

Developing Your Teaching: Ideas, Insight and Action offers practical, research‑based guidance for higher education lecturers who want to reflect critically on their practice and act on what they learn. The book provides structured prompts and strategies for enhancing teaching effectiveness, engaging students more deeply, using feedback productively, and planning your own professional and career development as a teacher.

Giving a Lecture offers clear, jargon‑free guidance for university and college teachers who want to design and deliver stronger lectures. Drawing on educational theory but focused on everyday practice, it covers planning and structuring lectures, using slides effectively, integrating podcasting and e‑lecturing, working with interactive handsets for active learning, embedding lectures in problem‑based learning, and lecturing in ways that support diversity and inclusivity.

This book explores how students learn mathematics through inquiry in lectures, tutorials, and workshops—and how teachers can investigate and improve their own practice. Using a three-layer model of inquiry, it connects student learning, teacher development, and research communities.

Combining a clear theoretical framework with practical cases, it is a resource for anyone seeking deeper mathematical learning in higher education.

Organised around four key areas—supporting student learning, course design, classroom teaching, and evaluation—this book offers clear strategies for lectures, seminars, and practicals. Each chapter includes examples, models, diagrams, and practical tools.

This book is written for lecturers who want practical, research‑based strategies they can apply tomorrow. Drawing on cognitive theory, it offers a series of small, manageable changes that fit into a single class session, bridge the gap between learning research and everyday teaching, and can be integrated into your existing courses in any discipline.

This thesis examines how teachers actually write test items and how they can be better supported. Treating item writing as an ill‑defined design problem, it reports six studies that lead to practical tools and interventions. These resources help lecturers generate more – and better – ideas for test questions, and thus improve the quality of assessment and student learning.

This practical, research-informed guide explains constructive alignment in outcomes-based education. It helps you define clear learning outcomes, design activities that support them, and create valid assessments.

With practical tsks and step-by-step activities, the book supports lecturers, educational developers, and university leaders in redesigning courses, programmes, and lessons.

This book helps lecturers and programme leaders who struggle with these challenges, offering insights from over thirty Dutch and Flemish experts on flexible, demand‑driven curricula, competence‑based teaching and assessment, student success, effective use of ICT and modern learning psychology, and quality assurance and management in a knowledge‑intensive environment.

This book combines constructive alignment in teaching and curriculum with strategic alignment at organisational level. It clarifies responsibilities for educational quality and introduces the SIE model as a practical tool for programme development.

Addressing issues such as performance pressure, student participation, and self-directed learning, it is for lecturers, educational specialists, managers, and students.

Based on a 15‑year study of nearly 100 college teachers, this book distils the core principles of excellent teaching in higher education. Through vivid, often humorous stories, it shows how great teachers combine intellectual challenge with empathy and creativity, helping students discover new ideas and the depth of their own abilities—insights that any educator can adapt to their own practice.
