Biography

Lynne Hunt is Emeritus Professor, University of Southern Queensland.

Denise Chalmers is Emeritus Professor in the field of higher education teaching and learning at the University of Western Australia.

"Reading through this publication can only be compared to meeting familiar friends: the theorists, the ideas, the practices – but in new settings. The separate chapters are very coherent because the ideas and their alignment are well-understood and therefore authors are able to maximize the ideas by building connections... After decades of being a practitioner in continuing professional development for university teaching, I found this publication valuable for beginning and mid-career professionals."

- Professor Wendy Kilfoil, Education Consultant, University of Pretoria, South Africa
