Learnhigher is a UK-based organization that seeks to foster "the development and dissemination of high quality, peer-reviewed resources for learning development in the higher education sector." With financial support from the Higher Education Funding Council for England, Learnhigher seeks to be a "One Stop Swap Shop" for educational resources developed by educational institutions across the UK. Here, educators will find study guides, classroom handouts, websites, podcasts, and classroom activities designed to help instructors support college students in developing a number of skills, including research, academic writing, and collaborative learning. Many of these resources are intended for classroom use, including helpful study guides for writing, a handbook to help students approach academic reading, and in-class activities to facilitate student reflection on their time management skills. Other resources are intended to help college-level instructors reflect on their current curriculum and pedagogy practices and learn new approaches. For example, instructors can check out Top 10 Tips on Deterring Plagiarism or view slides from a professional development workshop on assessing student work. Instructors can browse these resources by topic, including Research Skills, Writing at University, and Employability.
