It will constitute an important scholarly outcome from the SCEPTrE Project and provide an important vehicle for disseminating ideas and practices developed through the project.
The main objectives of the book are:
Audiences
The book is written with two audiences in mind in this country & internationally Firstly, it will appeal to anyone who has an interest in the study and design of higher education curricular. The book is primarily written for the many practising HE teachers, curriculum developers and educational developers who are interested in thinking systemically about the design of higher education curricular. Secondly, it is written for people who are involved in supporting the student experience who are trying to help students gain a more coherent sense of the experience and help institutions develop a better understanding of the ways in which students engage in and are shaped by their whole life experience while they are studying. While the ideas have been developed in a UK context the perspectives and ideas will be recognised in other higher education systems.
