Authored by leading scholars Biggs, Tang, and Kennedy, this edition integrates cutting-edge educational technology and institutional quality frameworks, making it essential for educators aiming to transform student outcomes and teaching quality globally. ## Description “Biggs and Tang, now with Kennedy, have ensured this new edition remains an international leader for university teaching for the next decade.” Denise Chalmers AM, Emeritus Professor, University of Western Australia, Australia “This book, a fifth edition, can truly be called a “classic” on the topic of teaching, learning and curriculum design in higher education.” Michael Prosser, Honorary Professorial Fellow, Centre for the Study of Higher Education, University of Melbourne, Australia “You should be inspired to increase the quality of your teaching, your learning, and your learning about teaching.” John R. Kirby, Professor Emeritus of Educational Psychology, Queen’s University, Canada The concept of constructive alignment has supported generations of students and teachers within higher education. It is a ‘backward design’ method of teaching where the student outcomes are identified first and the teacher then designs teaching activities to enable students to achieve those outcomes, assessing how well they have been achieved. Each chapter outlines how to design the learning outcomes, teaching and assessments for success in learning. This updated edition of Teaching for Quality Learning at University: • Provides a comprehensive, research-based theory of teaching for teacher reflection • Outlines how educational technology can be used in constructively aligned teaching • Helps staff developers to provide support for staff and departments in line with institutional policies • Offers a framework for quality assurance and quality enhancement across a whole institution Teaching for Quality Learning at University continues to be used as a framework for designing higher education teaching systems globally and is essential reading for those in the field. John Biggs has held Chairs in Education in Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong. He has published extensively on student learning and the implications of his research for teaching. He developed his concept of constructive alignment at the University of Hong Kong, first outlined in Teaching for Quality Learning at University in 1999. Catherine Tang has over 15 years of teaching experience in tertiary education and is the former Head of the Centre for Learning, Teaching and Supervision at the Education University of Hong Kong (the then Hong Kong Institute of Education) and the Educational Development Centre at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Gregor Kennedy is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) at the University of Melbourne, Australia and a Professor of Higher Education in the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education.

If you want to upgrade your basic just-tell-them-the-stuff teaching into something more professional, then this is one of the things you will need to refer to. It's also a great support for those writing up the HEA fellowship portfolios. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A key way forward *by A***N on 1 October 2023* This book is significant. To some, it will be an affirmation of best practice. To others, it will be a revelation. In a straightforward, unclogged way with touches of dry humour, it speaks for the holistic, and for a connectivity or alignment which serves the student in terms of meaningful communication and interaction. It transcends a mere passing on of information and crucially enables student-ownership. It is simultaneously idealistic and pragmatic – utterly devoted to obtaining quality learning as well as worldly, addressing as it does pitfalls, including political challenges. It is for all tutors and teachers. It is also for those who design courses. ## Frequently Bought Together - Teaching for Quality Learning at University: What the Student does - The Lecturer's Toolkit: A Practical Guide to Assessment, Learning and Teaching - A Handbook for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: Enhancing Academic Practice --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/437372636-teaching-for-quality-learning-at-university-what-the-student-does](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/437372636-teaching-for-quality-learning-at-university-what-the-student-does) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
