Handbook of College and University Teaching: A Global Perspective presents international perspectives on critical issues impacting teaching and learning in diverse higher education environments, all with a unique global view. The need to understand learning and teaching from multiple cultural perspectives has become critically important in educating the next generation of college students. Education experts from around the world share their perspectives on college and university teaching, illuminating international differences and similarities. The chapters are organized around a model developed by James Groccia, which focuses on seven interrelated variables, including teacher, learner, learning process, learning context, course content, instructional processes, and learning outcomes. Using this logical model as the organizational structure of the book provides a guide for systemic thinking about what actions one should take, or suggest others take, when planning activities to improve teaching and learning, curriculum development, and assessment.

The Context of Learning: Changes in UK Higher Education
More students, less money. These four words alone are sufficient to describe the catalysts for the current transformation of UK higher education. Add a fifth word, Bologna, and the description can be extended to the transformation of higher education across Europe. In this chapter, I explore how recent policies are affecting teaching and learning in UK higher education with occasional references to further afield. I also discuss illustrative examples of the consequences of an emerging new model of higher education in the United Kingdom with Groccia's model of teaching and learning (see Chapter 1, this volume; St. Clair & Groccia, 2009).
