Description: Outlining successful approaches to enhancing student-centred learning, the book develops the theme of employability and moves on to consider lifelong learning and the development of independent, autonomous and self-empowered learners. The contributing academics offer case studies on student-centred learning, PDP, innovative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment, and discuss the lessons they have learned through a practice or intervention which aimed to engage students and encourage them to take more responsibility for their learning. This book was commissioned by the Higher Education Academy Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism (HLST) and Business, Management, Accountancy and Finance (BMAF) Networks.
