Whilst many latest advances in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education may be gleaned from reading the literature, these are often untested and limited to small trials in very specific disciplinary groups, or organisations. As much may be learned from the top Higher Education Blogs and Websites that often enable practitioners to feed in their own experiences on the topic under discussion. The sites are a good starting place for getting ideas on how to enhance your own practices and the experiences of your students. A few of them are mentioned below.
Inside Higher Ed (insidehighered.com/blogs). This blog discusses aspects of inclusivity – from identities to conference food!
University World News/Higher Education News (universityworldnews.com) This blog provides recent news on Higher Education around the globe, particularly important if you are trying to develop overseas partnerships.
