Abstract
This book is about improving the quality of learning and teaching at scale in higher education . All universities have great teachers and groups of academics that enthusiastically pursue curricular innovation. Much more elusive however is the way universities scale up the learning and teaching excellence of individuals and groups to exert a whole-of-organization impact on the quality of the learning experience for all students. While such an impact is frequently claimed in mission statements and marketing materials, we will show what it really takes to substantiate such claims with the models, systems, methods, and tools required to attribute a university’s learning and teaching efforts to student learning at scale.
