Detailed Description
'Learning by Doing: a guide to teaching and learning methods' was first published in 1998 by the Further Education Unit at Oxford Polytechnic, UK (now the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development at Oxford Brookes University). The book was the result of a collaborative project between Graham Gibbs of Oxford Polytechnic and Bob Farmer and Diana Eastcott of Birmingham Polytechnic (now Birmingham City University).
In 2001 the book was made freely available online in a series of webpages by the Geography Discipline Network, hosted by the University of Gloucestershire at http://www2.glos.ac.uk/gdn/gibbs/index.htm
