The authors bring together pedagogical applications across the educational portfolio and with a focus on student-centered provision, agency for both colleagues and students, relevancy of learning and probably most importantly trust; all illustrated by guided exercises, examples and case studies as well as signposting to further reading throughout the chapters – providing opportunities for readers to immediately develop their own practical applications. It is an essential read for all who work within higher education. -- Claire Hamshire, Professor of Higher Education and the Associate Pro-Vice Chancellor, Education and Student Experience, University of Salford, UK
