The concept of constructive alignment has supported generations of students and teachers within higher education. It is a ‘backward design method of teaching where the student outcomes are identified first and the teacher then designs teaching activities to enable students to achieve those outcomes, assessing how well they have been achieved. Each chapter outlines how to design the learning outcomes, teaching, and assessments for success in learning.
