Innovations in Education and Teaching International (IETI), is the journal of the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) www.seda.ac.uk. As such, contributions to the Journal should reflect SEDA's aim to promote innovation and good practice in higher education through staff and educational development and subject-related practices. Contributions are welcomed on any aspect of promoting and supporting educational change in higher and other post-school education, with an emphasis on research, experience, scholarship and evaluation, rather than mere description of practice.

Educational development – also described as academic, faculty, staff or instructional development in some contexts – is taken to mean the activities engaged in by staff in specialist units, academic staff in departments, academic leaders and managers, those involved with quality enhancement initiatives, and others with an interest in educational change, to bring about improvements in, and a better understanding of, policy and practices of learning, teaching, assessment and curriculum development. Contributors should remember the international nature of the Journal's readership and both contextualise and consider the transferability of the practices and theories being examined.

Innovations in Education & Teaching International (IETI) is essential reading for all practitioners and decision makers who want to stay informed about the developments in education, teaching and learning.
