About this title

Synopsis

What is a Foundation Degree? What are the needs of Foundation Degree students? How should course design and delivery be shaped?

This text is a complete guide for academic tutors and support staff involved in teaching on Foundation Degrees. The contributors explore the specific and diverse needs of Foundation Degree students, a unique client-group in Further Education (FE) / Higher Education (HE) who have differing academic qualifications and work-based experiences. They address aspects of course design and delivery including teaching techniques, e-learning and assessment. Drawing together theory and practice, this text will provide clear practical models for how to successfully deliver Foundation Degrees through the use of exemplar materials, case studies, reflection points and the learner voice.
