Abstract
In this chapter we report on an element of a European COST
Action which set out to explore centralised models of pro-
fessional learning for higher education staff across writing,
research, learning and teaching. Specifically, we report on our
examination of three things: the provision of professional
support across writing, research, learning and teaching; the fac-
tors which influence the research participants’ engagement in
writing, research, learning and teaching; the sort of profession-
al support that the research participants found either effective
or desirable in terms of writing, research, learning and teach-
ing. Based on analysis of the data, in the context of the COST
Action, we suggest three themes to be considered with regard
to the provision of professional learning for higher education
colleagues across these four areas, namely, character, commu-
nity and context. In our discussion and concluding remarks we emphasize the importance of the human component of higher
education and the need for collaborative approaches which are
meaningful and context sensitive.
