Teaching and Learning Innovations in Higher Education - Paperback

by Richard Warner (Editor), Kayoko Enomoto (Editor), Claus Nygaard (Editor)

The latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series, Teaching and Learning Innovations in Higher Education showcases transformative, theory-informed innovations in teaching and learning in Higher Education. It presents a brand new, unique perspective on innovation in HE - the Learning-centred Five-tier Model of Innovation - which guides educators in their innovation of teaching and learning products, processes, or services. A distinguishing feature of the book is the linkage to the Five-tier Model of Innovation that explicitly relates to three learning paradigms: Instructivism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism. In each chapter, authors situate their teaching and learning innovations in one of the three learning paradigms. The book contains twenty-one inspiring cases showing learning-centred product, process, or service innovations within five focus areas: Learning Space Design - E-Learning - Case-Methodology - Business Practice and Fieldwork - Creative Methodologies - Reflective Methodologies.
