Enhancing Teaching Practice in Higher Education : International Perspectives on Academic Teaching and Learning

The ENTEP Project, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, has been initiated with the aim of improving the quality of education and teaching, enhancing teaching practices and further developing educational science in Russia and China. This book contains the results of this project. It unites general considerations with regard to the establishment of a general teaching and learning policy on the organizational level and more detailed reflections on teaching and learning, especially in times of digital education. Due to the international setting of the project, the volume delivers an insight into very different approaches, i. a. Italy, Great Britain, Portugal, Germany, and in particular Russia and China.
