Synopsis

The latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series, Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices in Higher Education introduces the reader to a number of inspiring transformative educational practices. It explores in depth what has motivated these teachers to transform their teaching, how they went about doing it, and what the results were for their students in terms of learning and engagement. The innovative practices in the book centre around three types of innovations:

• Technology-based
• Simulation-based
• Practice-based

Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices in Higher Education takes a pedagogical, procedural, and practical approach to the development of innovative teaching and learning practices. The authors, who are university teachers themselves, focus on encouraging, empowering and enabling fellow teachers to develop, design, and implement new and innovative teaching and learning practices for the improvement of student engagement and student learning.

The book describes teaching and learning innovations in terms of the complex links between teaching practices and underlying theories and philosophies of learning. Showcasing innovative practices from across different fields of science, the book is cross-disciplinary and inclusive.
