SUMMARY
A ‘twinning’ programme for staff development is outlined, involving collaboration between lecturers from the University of Glamorgan in Wales and the Bath College of Higher Education, a university sector college in England. The principle aim is that of disseminating good practice in educational development, including innovations in work‐based learning, educational technologies and mentoring. This paper addresses the theme of professional development for academic staff, and reviews twinning experiences through an application of communication models to learning organizations within Higher Education. The essential advantage of twinning strategies lies with institution‐wide rather than discipline‐specific developments.
