The book's primary objectives are to welcome you to the abundant
and meaningful international and multidisciplinary education
discovery journey. You will grow from exposure to other cultures
and their practices and I daresay, become better teachers in your
local as well as on-line environments. Most every local classroom
is multi-cultural as well. The students have different backgrounds
and different ways of internalizing information meaningfully.The
book will provide practical examples how to design, promote and
teach various courses and seminars abroad. Examples are those the
author experienced with a specific pedagogical idea that is
successful in one system, however, the same concept may face
unexpected challenges or fail in another system. Most importantly,
the book will focus on applying feedback as vital tools that will
guide us to the designing, promoting and teaching mathematics and
multidisciplinary courses and seminars. The book's most important
goal is to make international and multidisciplinary education
accessible to everyone.The book will compare several educational
systems as well as their similarities and differences. These
include different teaching and learning styles, students'
preparation levels, and students' interests and value orientations.
The goal is to inspire you to embark on your own innovative
discovery journey, seek out multi-cultural and international
teaching opportunities and to effectively reach, effectively
communicate information and help students learn.
Now What? Is a reference book and guide offering practical advice
to teenagers as they approach the key decisions regarding their
futures, whether it be careers, university, apprenticeships or
something else. The follow up to the No. 1 bestselling Amazon
career guide, 'Is your school lying to you?' offers all new
insights into the need for self reliance, adaptability and
entrepreneurial spark to navigate and succeed in the new, post
pandemic marketplace they'll be entering as adults. An honest,
fresh and deliberately unacademic take on the evergreen issue of
how best to advise teens on their choices free from bias and
parental expectation. Now What? Challenges the myth that school
will take care of this and empowers students to embrace their
opportunities, achieve their goals and through self reliance,
realise their ambitions.
Global challenges, in a chaotic context, are ever in play, emerging
and receding in time. At the present moment, the global challenges
of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in several years of
mass-scale challenges and lost learning and socialization from K-12
to higher education for many. The pandemic has been a high
consequence and continuing event. Universities and colleges have
been under unprecedented budgetary strain. Despite all the immense
and irreparable human losses, humanity is moving forward with
lessons from the past several years. The Handbook of Research on
Revisioning and Reconstructing Higher Education After Global Crises
explores how global higher education will recover from the global
pandemic at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels, and how they will
re-establish their relevance for teaching and learning, research
and innovation, and social contributions. Covering topics such as
campus life, online library services, and Indigenous students, this
major reference work is an essential resource for educators and
administrators of higher education, government officials, students
of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Active blended learning (ABL) is a pedagogical approach that
combines sensemaking activities with focused interactions in
appropriate learning settings. ABL has become a great learning tool
as it is easily accessible online, with digitally rich
environments, close peer and tutor interactions, and accommodations
per individual learner needs. It encompasses a variety of concepts,
methods, and techniques, such as collaborative learning,
experiential learning, problem-based learning, team-based learning,
and flipped classrooms. ABL is a tool used by educators to develop
learner autonomy, engaging students in knowledge construction,
reflection, and critique. In the current educational climate, there
is a strong case for the implementation of ABL. Cases on Active
Blended Learning in Higher Education explores strategies and
methods to implement ABL in higher education. It will provide
insights into teaching practice by describing the experiences and
reflections of academics from around the world. The chapters
analyse enablers, barriers to engagement, outcomes, implications,
and recommendations to benefit from ABL in different contexts, as
well as associated concepts and models. While highlighting topics
such as personalized university courses, remote service learning,
team-based learning, and universal design, this book is ideal for
in-service and preservice teachers, administrators, instructional
designers, teacher educators, practitioners, researchers,
academicians, and students interested in pedagogical approaches
aligned to ABL and how this works in higher education institutions.
There is growing pressure on teachers and faculty to understand and
adopt best practices to work with diverse races, cultures, and
languages in modern classrooms. Establishing sound pedagogy is also
critical given that racial, cultural, and linguistic integration
has the potential to increase academic success for all learners. To
that end, there is also a need for educators to prepare graduates
who will better meet the needs of culturally diverse learners and
help their learners to become successful global citizens. The
Handbook of Research on Diversity and Social Justice in Higher
Education is a cutting-edge research book that examines
cross-cultural perspectives, challenges, and opportunities
pertaining to advancing diversity and social justice in higher
education. Furthermore, the book explores multiple concepts of
building a bridge from a monocultural pedagogical framework to
cross-cultural knowledge through appropriate diversity education
models as well as effective social justice practices. Highlighting
a range of topics such as cultural taxation, intercultural
engagement, and teacher preparation, this book is essential for
teachers, faculty, academicians, researchers, administrators,
policymakers, and students.
