HERDSA GUIDES

The HERDSA Guides series continues the tradition of HERDSA publications known as the "Green Guides" and the "Gold Guides". The merging into one series reflects the progressive blurring of the boundaries between the roles of researcher, teacher, curriculum designer, manager and professional development or learning support specialist. The providers of higher education represent a mix of skills and attributes that all contribute to preparing students who, as Ingrid Moses has previously described "will be prepared as educated, culturally and socially aware people to lead the professions, and will be life-long learners".

In this series some Guides contain pragmatic ideas for immediate use by teachers, educational developers, curriculum designers, learning support specialists and managers. Others describe, analyse and discuss particular challenges for teaching or learning and suggest ways in which those challenges can be resolved and managed. Proposals submitted for consideration for publication as a HERDSA Guide are reviewed by the Editorial Committee. The final manuscript is subjected to a refereeing and editorial process that seeks to ensure that the Guide meets the criteria for publication and that it has wide applicability for the intended audience of the HERDSA Guide series. Both the transferability and the sharing of innovative practices within and across disciplines are hallmarks of a HERDSA Guide.

HERDSA is always interested in receiving proposals for Guides which address contemporary issues in higher education. Any person or group interested in submitting a proposal to the Editorial Committee should read Guidelines for those interested in becoming an author of a HERDSA Guide prior to submission. HERDSA may also commission Guides on selected topics.
