​Ten years ago, AKU established its Educational Development and Qua​​lity Enhancement Unit, The Network of Quality, Teaching and Learning (QTL_net). This volume captures reflective stories of impact told by academic staff who have been on a journey to​​ educational development. The case studies cover common challenges faced by academic development units the world over – how to engage busy academics in reflective pedagogy, how to demonstrably improve student learning outcomes, and how to create an institutional teaching culture.​

Given the dearth of literature that considers the impact of educational development units, this account will have relevance for senior educational leaders, educational developers, educational technologists, teaching-focused academics, and those with an interest in educational research. By sharing these stories we aim to stimulate dialogue on the successes, complexities and nuances of educational development work, particularly tricky issues of impact evaluation. ​
