For the last decade, virtual reality has been utilized in diverse
fields such as entertainment, medicine, and industry. Recently,
virtual reality has been applied in educational settings in order
to transform student learning and experiences through such methods
as building prototypes using digital devices or exploring new
cultures through immersive interactions. Teachers who can

Reality in Higher Education is a cutting-edge academic research
book that provides comprehensive research on the integration of
virtual reality in education programs and establishes foundations
for course design, program development, and institutional strategic
planning. The book covers an overall understanding and approach to
virtual reality in education, specific applications of using
virtual reality in higher education, and prospects and issues of
virtual reality in the future. Highlighting a wide range of topics
such as gamification, teacher training, and virtual reality, this
book is ideal for teachers, instructional designers, curriculum
developers, academicians, program developers, administrators,
educational software developers, policymakers, researchers,
education professionals, and students.
Higher education today faces several challenges including soaring
cost, rising student debt, declining state support, and a
staggering dropout rate. Digital technology enables numerous paths
to innovation and promising solutions to these crises in higher
education. However, few efforts have been made to look into the
dynamic relationship between technology, innovation, and leadership
and how they work together to transform teaching and learning,
campus life, student service and support, administration, and
university advancement. Technology Leadership for Innovation in
Higher Education is a pivotal reference source that provides vital
research on the intersection of technology, innovation, and
leadership in higher education by examining the role of technology
in activating, promoting, and accelerating innovation and by
identifying challenges regarding technology leadership. While
highlighting topics such as blended teaching, faculty development,
and university advancement, this publication is ideally designed
for teachers, principals, educational and IT management and staff,
researchers, students, and stakeholders in higher education seeking
current research on critical leadership dimensions required for
effective education leaders.
Because of the continued growth of online instruction, there is now
a need to better understand every demographic of students in higher
education. Achieving successful student-faculty engagement in
distance learning is a growing challenge. Fostering Multiple Levels
of Engagement in Higher Education Environments is an essential
reference source that serves as a guideline for institutions
looking to improve current undergraduate or graduate programs and
successful engagement practices with online faculty, staff, and
students. Featuring research on topics such as student-faculty
engagement, engaging curriculum, engaging platform, and engaging
relationships, this book is ideally designed for educators,
practitioners, academicians, and researchers seeking coverage on
successful engagement in higher education.
Academics' International Teaching Journeys provides personal
narratives of nine international social science academics in
foreign countries as they adapt and develop their teaching. The
team of international contributors provide an invaluable resource
for other academics who may be exposed to similar situations and
may find these narratives useful in negotiating their own conflicts
and challenges that they may encounter in being an international
academic. The narratives provide a fascinating reference point and
a wide range of perspectives of teaching experiences from across
the world, including Europe, Australia, North America and the
Caribbean. The book offers a timely spotlight on contemporary
issues of globalisation that many higher education institutions
around the world may encounter. It contributes to the originality
of constructing new knowledge in the field of transnational higher
education - a modern phenomenon which will be increasingly
prominent in the current and next generation in the globalised
higher education contexts.
This book is designed to support individuals, particularly in
higher education settings, gain knowledge and skills related to
critical dialogues that support effective conflict management.
Higher education institutions and its stakeholders such as faculty,
staff, students, and administrators are often perceived for their
proclivity to foster debate. This book is not about how to
facilitate debate, but rather, dialogue, which if managed well, can
lead to positive growth, learning outcomes, and increased
productivity. Dialogue as a method for effective conflict
management is an underutilized method of communication. Contents of
the book include modules that address communication skills,
conflict management styles, working in small groups or teams, how
to facilitate change, and research-based resources and references
for conflict management.
Management education is currently adapting to several societal
changes. Due to increased workload and outside pressures heaped on
students, business education programs are undergoing a unique
transformation to keep up with shifting industry expectations.
Innovative Management Education Pedagogies for Preparing
Next-Generation Leaders facilitates the discussion on a variety of
teaching methods and practices being used in current business
education programs. Highlighting the ways that technology can be
used to aid students in the advancement of their studies as well as
career development and preparation, this text covers a range of
topics, from leadership expectations and workforce requirements to
electronic course materials. The timely research-based practices
and methods included in this publication are beneficial to school
administrators, instructional designers, instructors, and
researchers in the fields of business and higher education.
Social Theory and the Politics of Higher Education brings together
an international group of scholars who shine a theoretical light on
the politics of academic life and higher education. The book covers
three key areas: 1) Institutional governance, with a specific focus
on issues such as measurement, surveillance, accountability,
regulation, performance and institutional reputation. 2) Academic
work, covering areas such as the changing nature of academic
labour, neoliberalism and academic identity, and the role of gender
and gender studies in university life. 3) Student experience, which
includes case studies of student politics and protest, the impact
of graduate debt and changing student identities. The editors and
chapter authors explore these topics through a theoretical lens,
using the ideas of Michel Foucault, Niklas Luhmann, Barbara Adams,
Donna Massey, Margaret Archer, Jurgen Habermas, Pierre Bourdieu,
Hartmut Rosa, Norbert Elias and Donna Haraway, among others. The
case studies, from Africa, Europe, Australia and South America,
draw on a wide range of research approaches, and each chapter
includes a set of critical reflections on how social theory and
research methodology can work in tandem.
