This monograph addresses a number of pedagogical and practical aspects of providing quality graduate teaching within the biological sciences in the 21st Century. These aspects include the following: (1) Optimal design of online content, having considered issues such as aims, sequence of content, alignment and evaluation. (2) Using interview data to examine and improve learning conceptions and approaches. (3) Critical evaluation of assessment procedures, including issues such as assessment criteria, the relationship between assessment and learning, and the multiple purposes of assessment. The purposes of assessment in general are treated and a review is made of aspects such as alignment of assessment with learning objectives, summative and formative feedback, general and type-specific assessment criteria, and common weaknesses in the assessment schemes used in higher education. (4) Making the most of student feedback with a view to improving course curricula.
