The last century has brought tremendous advances in science and technology and, as we enter the new millennium, the delivery of educational programs has clearly progressed. In doing so, education has become more widely available to millions of people worldwide, especially via the internet. One of the greatest global challenges for the tertiary education is the use of appropriate technology for the delivery of education in a variety of settings.

Tertiary Teaching: Flexible Teaching and Learning across the Disciplines brings together a unique collection of case examples, which provides an additional step towards meeting these challenges.
Tertiary Teaching: Flexible Teaching and Learning across the Disciplines is a resource about innovative teaching. It profiles, analyses and celebrates the work of 10 accomplished tertiary educators from north Queensland, Australia, who have recently completed the Graduate Certificate of Education (Tertiary Teaching) at James Cook University. Drawing
on contemporary theories of innovation, teacher professionalism and curriculum reform, this work provides a stimulus
for some in-depth thinking about how we should teach in today's 'knowledge society'.

Tertiary Teaching: Flexible Teaching and Learning across the Disciplines demonstrates the significant impact being generated by these innovative teachers in the higher education sector, as well as the wider communities in which they operate.
Tertiary Teaching: Flexible Teaching and Learning across the Disciplines presents 10 articles, including papers on fieldwork experiential learning, on-line teaching, moving away from traditional tutorial structures, teaching tourism managers, role-playing, improving writing skills, enhanced flexibly delivery, student mentorship, web-based distance education and simulation models, and practice journals.

Tertiary Teaching: Flexible Teaching and Learning across the Disciplines is not just limited to the promulgation of good practice examples. More importantly, it is designed to actively engage key stakeholders in tertiary education in informed debate and collective action with a view to increasing the level of innovative teaching within the tertiary education sector.

Students of tertiary education, university lecturers and post-secondary instructors and teachers will find these "real life" case studies contained within Tertiary Teaching: Flexible Teaching and Learning across the Disciplines a valuable educational resource.
