Reviews

A case study of a regional university, the book should be of interest to a wide range of readers--researchers, practitioners and goverment.

Shirley O'Neill

Pedagogy in third level institutions has been a matter of concern; this book will provide insights grounded in experience and conceptual rigour.

[This book] will be an excellent addition to the literature on higher education internationally. CQU has an impressive record in terms of the Scholarship of Learning and Teaching.
