Abstract

University teaching is complicated by competing pressures on academic staff. Imperatives including research, and engagement with community are just two of the myriad pressures that academics balance in careers of full workloads and shifting external demands. This chapter highlights the tensions inherent in the introduction of new priorities, in this case, practice-based learning. It provides a case study of a single institution and offers a perspective on successful implementation that includes consideration of workload, resourcing and a shared vision for pedagogical change.
