HE in FE Pedagogy

FECs have been delivering higher education programmes for many years and the staff teaching these programmes have in many cases been trained as teachers in further education and often teach both FE and HE courses.

There is currently a debate as to whether a distinctive pedagogy exists relating to teaching HE courses in FECs as opposed to FE courses or HE courses in Universities. Is there a difference? Are teachers delivering programmes in a fundamentally different way or are they intuitively adapting to the circumstances and needs of their learners. Do students following HE in FECs need a different pedagogy? If so what?
