Cover of Credit Based Systems as Vehicles for Change in Universities and Colleges
This book focuses on the evolution of a credit-based education system which offers wider access to post-16 education. Universities, colleges, Government Departments and the TECs are all seeking ways to use credit-based systems as a tool to increase flexibility, widen access and rationalise resources. The book explores the changes underway by looking at the wide range of situations in which credit has already been used, with particular emphasis on both the opportunities it can offer to students and employers, and the managerial and administrative developments it requires. In the light of existing change, the book also looks at the future prospects for further developments at the international, national and institutional levels.
