Synopsis

Innovative Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is a book written to inspire faculty members to further innovate their teaching and learning practices for the benefit of both student engagement and student learning outcomes. The book contains 27 inspiring examples of teaching and learning innovations written as first-hand accounts by the faculty members who developed and implemented the innovative practices.

The 27 examples of innovative teaching and learning practice are grouped into 6 sections:

• Section 1: Innovation through Play, Role-Play and Games in Higher Education;

• Section 2: Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices Using Student Partnerships;

• Section 3: Teaching and Learning Innovations Using Modern Technologies;

• Section 4: Innovation through Case-based Teaching and Learning;

• Section 5: Innovation through Authentic Learning-Environments, Experiences and Field Work;

• Section 6: Innovative Teaching and Learning practices using E-learning.

The chapters show considerable diversity in their approaches to teaching and learning practices; at the same time, they improve both student engagement and student learning outcomes. All the authors argue that their innovative approach has helped students to learn differently, better, and more. For those involved in higher education, there is a lot to be gained from reading these narrative accounts of innovative teaching and learning.

Together these inspiring examples of Innovative Teaching and Learning in Higher Education show a large diversity in their approach to being innovative in teaching and learning practices. And at the same time, they somewhat show a homogeneous effect on both student engagement and student learning outcomes. They all argue that their innovative approach has helped students learn different, better, and more. If we take their words for granted, there is a lot to gain from reading the narrative accounts of innovative teaching and learning in this book.
