Publications

In 2005 Emerging Issues in the Practice of University Learning and Teaching was published by AISHE.  The book, edited by Geraldine O Neill, Sarah Moore and Barry Mc Mullin, was written by members of a then ‘recently formed Irish Educational Developers group’ (now known as EDIN). It gave a voice to a new profession in higher education in Ireland, that of the Educational Developer, and was written evidence of the contribution that this profession could make both nationally and internationally.  Emerging Issues I is available here.

Emerging Issues II, published in 2008, was very much concerned with The Changing Roles and Identities of Teachers and Learners in Higher Education. The text builds on Emerging Issues I and on publications in this area from Ireland in the intervening years. Here is the publication by chapter.
