In putting together the ideas in this book, I have enjoyed the encouragement and support of the Department of Research and Development in Higher Education at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. In writing the book my special thanks must go to a colleague — Ans Ronduite. Without the special quality of her critique and suggestions for revisions, the book would never have been completed. Colleague Jan Nedermeijer insisted on an introduction to a Dutch Publisher (J W M Baron van Boetzelaer, Director, Uitgeversmaatschappij W.Versluys, Almere) and so gave the push which started the whole process.
My interest in the use of ‘intuition, creativity and logical thinking’ in course and lesson design decisionrmaking was first kindled by my colleagues and teachers in Basic Systems Inc, New York, USA back in the early 1960s.
