Book review: Designing learning for intensive modes of study: Reflections by Emeritus Professor Janelle Allison

Abstract

Designing learning for intensive modes of study is a clear, concise guide to designing curricula with intensive modes of study. It takes a project management style approach and considers implementation at the unit, program, and institutional scale. Appendix A allows readers to explore how different intensive mode learning strategies have been designed and implemented. We see how the theory is translated into practice. Case studies bring the Guide to life and illustrate the steps to be negotiated in adopting novel approaches to learning and teaching. The key messages and plentiful illustrations currently included in vignette form in the main body of the Guide also provide how-to design excitement.
