The quality of education in higher education is a high-profile, controversial and rapidly evolving area, which presents universities with a major challenge. Quality assurance and development issues impact on the staff, resources, administration and culture of an academic institution, yet there is often a lack of clear guidance available to those responsible for implementing best practice.
This book provides practical guidelines for managing academic quality assurance and quality enhancement, outlining best practice from both the UK and the rest of the world. Each chapter addresses the key issues, risks and good practice points across a wide range of quality issues, drawing explicitly and in detail from the QAA guidance on the Code of Practice, Subject Benchmarks, Qualifications Framework and Institutional Audit.
The material is presented in an accessible and straightforward style, incorporating useful features such as case studies, self-assessment questionnaires and checklists. The book also includes development questions for individual or team review. "The Academic Quality Handbook" is an essential resource for academic managers, course leaders and anyone with responsibility for quality assurance in universities and colleges.
A ringbound edition is also available with photocopiable resources, workshop materials and an additional chapter on foundation degrees. Visit the website at www.academicquality.com

Industry Reviews

'This is an excellent handbook, helpfully covering all the main topics within the area of academic quality which should concern academics ... It will sit in my place for handy books and I have no doubt that I shall be referring to various sections of it, often. I'd advise you to do likewise.' - John Cowen, British Journal of Educational Technology
