Mackh, B. (2018). Higher Education by Design - Best Practices for Curricular Planning and Instruction. London: Routledge.
New faculty or faculty new to online learning will find this book helpful. It helps translate learning design principles and the evidence on what works from a student engagement perspective into actions which faculty can take. Practical, full of step-by-step design advice and examples, faculty will better understand how they can translate their “content” into engaged learning designs. The chapter on writing as instruction and assessment together with the chapter on teaching effectively are the heart of this book. There are also great examples of collaboration and imaginative design. It's a fun book for those seeking to significantly improve their teaching.
