Abstract

The success of Higher Education (HE)
Institutions depends on the success of their students and the quality of the
student learning experience will increasingly be a key determinant HE
institutions success in the context of the emerging competitive higher education
landscape.  The HE institution’s
Strategic Framework for Learning and Teaching reflects the HE institution’s
ambition to support students to be successful at each stage of their engagement
with them - from first contact through to successful entry into employment.

This paper explores effective ways of
teaching and learning in higher education. It focuses especially on teaching
and learning to achieve equality in diverse student access, and to achieve
equity and fairness in student success and outcomes from higher education.

This paper will also deal with the current higher
education teaching and learning issues and challenges. It will consider issues
relating to various methods of learning including class room based learning
(face to face learning), e-learning, work-based learning and distance learning.
E-learning is well suited to distance learning and flexible learning, but it
can also be used in conjunction with face-to-face teaching, in which case the
term blended learning is commonly used. 
HE institutions may explore these learnings in order to improve their
students’ success.
