Abstract

Facilitation skills have been identified as key to successful improvement initiatives in Higher Education. Why is this? What makes for good facilitation? Are there models of facilitation for improvement? Does good facilitation differ in different national contexts? How can this be taught? In both UiT, and Edinburgh Napier University, there are examples of best practice in facilitation for improvement. Building on this expertise a working seminar was arranged that resulted in the exploration of the questions above, and more, resulting this published output. This output focuses on best practice and offers suggestions for practitioners in the sector.
