Professor Digby Warren is Professor of Higher Education at London
Metropolitan University. Digby has been working in higher education
development for over 25 years. His chief area of expertise is
curriculum development and higher education pedagogy, about which
he has produced over 60 conference papers, published articles and
book chapters - with a focus on student diversity and
transformational approaches. Currently Head of the Centre for
Professional and Educational Development, as a consultant member
(2004-2008) of the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development
he delivered workshops at a number of UK universities, and was also
co-editor of conference proceedings for the London series of
International Conferences on the Scholarship of Learning & Teaching
(2005 to 2010). On the international front, he played a lead role
in two successful EU-funded projects (2011-2018) to modernise
higher education, using curriculum and teaching development as a
driver for innovation.
Since 2016, when the first edition of this book was published, the
aspects of HE teaching that it explored have increased in
visibility, importance and impact. Some are of long duration, such
as our continued need to make higher education fair,
inclusive and diverse for all. Others, such as efforts to
legitimise playful forms of pedagogy at university, have attained
prominence more recently. This revised edition
of Enhancing Teaching Practice in HE explores
key challenges and opportunities presenting themselves to
educators in varied roles (not to mention
their students). In five years such challenges and
opportunities have become more, not less, relevant. All
can benefit from new energy and thinking,
encased in practical application and rooted in academic
literature and theory. This is what the authors offer in this
book; a guide to inform those for whom these matters are
new, while providing a clear evidence-base to enable
experienced readers to refresh and update their practice. It will
be an invaluable reference for personal and professional
development in all its forms.
