This is a practical reference work for all those in higher education who require more information on the capability movement - a theory of balanced education which argues that the learner must combine the acquisition of knowledge with the ability to use and communicate it effectively. The text describes how the quality of learning is critical to the development of capability. Topics discussed include current capability project activities, the results to date, examples of successful practice, and the likely impact of future developments in the field. The contributors explain how lecturers can draw on the project's examples to improve their own teaching skills.
