Description and Table of Contents
Description
Institutions of higher education are currently having to react speedily and creatively to a range of demands connected with education for intending and already qualified professionals. In addition to traditional requirements for continuous professional development and updating, there is a growing awareness of skills needs, interprofessional cooperation, and innovative learning styles. This volume examines the context, development and management of a portfolio of professional courses. It draws on a number of practical case studies from one institution, Oxford Polytechnic, and emphasizes the necessity of a planned institutional framework including an overaching strategy for professional education. The overall design of the book identifies key issues and objectives and shows in practical ways how institutions can act to meet them. It should be of interest to those involved in the development and management of professional courses at both the course and departmental/institutional levels, as well as to others with a broad interest in issues of professional practice.
