Interactive Teaching and Assessment That Works

Interactive Teaching and Assessment That Works is a practical, evidence-informed guide for university educators who want to design learning experiences that genuinely improve student performance.

Across 20 focused chapters, this book turns the most important challenges in higher education teaching into clear, usable actions: writing assessable learning outcomes, planning engaging sessions, explaining difficult concepts, increasing participation, designing active learning in any classroom, facilitating small groups, creating effective flipped learning, and building fair, meaningful assessment.

You will also learn how to create stronger exams, write high-quality multiple-choice and short-answer questions, use rubrics, design OSCEs and workplace-based assessments, interpret item analysis, and give feedback that helps students improve.

Every chapter includes companion videos, podcasts, and practical tools that help you apply the ideas immediately-whether you are a new lecturer, an experienced professor, clinical educator, course coordinator, or faculty-development leader.

This is not a book of abstract educational theory. It is a hands-on professional-development resource for educators who want to teach with greater confidence, assess with greater fairness, and help students learn more deeply.

Become a more effective professor-one practical decision, activity, and assessment at a time.
