A book to bind us together: Staff–student collaboration on a new model of publication

Gray, Avril

Abstract

This presentation provides insights into a ground-breaking initiative in which academics worked with students to produce a new book, entitled “Innovation in Learning and Teaching”. The book has now been published in print and is available on Amazon (an institution first). The initiative put students at the forefront when defining teaching excellence. It provided a publication forum for staff across disciplines at varying stages of their career. Outputs extend beyond the tangible and include increased student retention and satisfaction, improved staff motivation, confidence and promotion. This presentation investigates how the institution can support research and publication by means of an innovative model. Backed by a richness of insight, these are issues relevant to policymakers and academics everywhere.
