THE EDITORS

Heather Fry is Head of the Centre for Educational Development at Imperial College London. After teaching and lecturing in Nigeria she worked at the Institute of Education, London, and at St Bartholomew's and Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary's. She teaches, publishes and researches on a range of aspects of pedagogy and educational development in university and professional settings, especially in relation to medicine and dentistry. Recent research and publications focus on learning through clinical simulation, using technology with campus-based students, and progress files. She is joint editor with Steve Ketteridge and Stephanie Marshall of The Effective Academic: A Handbook for Enhanced Practice, Kogan Page (2002).

Steve Ketteridge is Director of Educational and Staff Development at Queen Mary, University of London where he was formerly a lecturer in microbiology. He has extensive experience of teaching at undergraduate and Masters levels, working with students from across the life sciences and civil engineering. His main interest is in the development of academic practice and he has worked with research staff and students in many research-led universities and research institutes. More recently his interests have extended into academic management and leadership. He is joint editor with Stephanie Marshall and Heather Fry of The Effective Academic: A Handbook for Enhanced Practice, Kogan Page (2002).

Stephanie Marshall is Director of Staff Development and Provost of Goodricke College at the University of York. Her latter role has led to an active interest in supporting students who are `let loose' on project and dissertation research, requiring an outside facilitator to assist them in project management skills. Prior to her current post, she was a lecturer in Educational Studies. Since then, she has retained an active interest in both educational, leadership and management development, teaching, publishing and researching on various aspects of the pedagogy of both higher education and management development. She is joint editor with Steve Ketteridge and Heather Fry of The Effective Academic: A Handbook for Enhanced Practice, Kogan Page (2002).
