In this latest work, Dr. Allan has created a text that achieves nearly the impossible: There is something of interest to nearly everyone who works with students, including academic librarians. Though it is arguably of the greatest use to those who are least experienced, there are thoughtful ideas and suggestions that even the most experienced among us will find intriguing and useful.

There is an excellent overview of ideas and models of student learning, ranging from classics such as Kolb’s experiential learning style to the more recent work on flexible pedagogies by the Higher Education Academy. This is followed by practical chapters on the variety of techniques and activities you can employ when working in learning and teaching, a section on the assessment of learning, course design and evaluation.

Each chapter is an easy read and all are well referenced. Among the book’s strengths is its applicability to educators both within and beyond the library. In addition, it addresses face-to-face and online learning situations and includes many case studies that bear witness to the topics being discussed.
