Evolution of Education and Leadership in Higher Education

In the highly competitive global marketplace of higher education, leaders and administrators must address specific issues, such as expanding participation, the potential of new technologies, emphasizing educational quality, and promoting qualitative improvements in teaching, learning, and leadership. Educational development plays a central role in each of these areas and will be a key component in developing strategies for all higher education institutions.
This book includes research and studies on issues related to what educational development can offer higher education. Drawing on the experience of leading developers from around the world, it offers explanations of a wealth of approaches to developing educational development strategies and guidance for creating structures and processes that will make a difference to the effectiveness and reputation of any institution.
"Educational Development and Leadership in Higher Education" provides insights from a number of stakeholders in the field who are responsible for determining their institutions' strategies, whether they are educational developers, department heads, deans, former university directors, or vice presidents.
