This book will help all academic staff in higher education (HE) develop more informed teaching and better support students as they transition to university. It explores the organisations who advise students pre-university and uncovers the myths and misconceptions held by HE stakeholders. Induction and welcome activities are examined in order to identify best practice, transition problems such as study skills, employment, mental health and identity are covered, and a final chapter focuses on the effects of Covid-19 on transition issues. The Critical Practice in Higher Education series provides a scholarly and practical entry point for academics into key areas of higher education practice. Each book in the series explores an individual topic in depth, providing an overview in relation to current thinking and practice, informed by recent research. The series will be of interest to those engaged in the study of higher education, those involved in leading learning and teaching or working in academic development, and individuals seeking to explore particular topics of professional interest. Through critical engagement, this series aims to promote an expanded notion of being an academic - connecting research, teaching, scholarship, community engagement and leadership - while developing confidence and authority.

Bias-aware Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Critical Approaches to Online Learning
Transition into Higher Education

"This timely and accessible contribution from Julian McDougall takes a critical perspective on digital learning practices for the post-pandemic university. Particularly praiseworthy is the treatment of innovative assessment and feedback designs within blended and hybrid approaches. The analysis interweaves theories and critical practices, anchored by relational and social justice perspectives. " -- Professor David Carless * Faculty of Education, University of Hong Kong *
