Responsive learning and responsible learning have not been
considered and utilized appropriately in the past, especially in
light of the post-pandemic higher education landscape. A discussion
and consideration of the different elements that make up responsive
and responsible learning such as agency, agility, mindfulness,
connectedness, resourcefulness, active and seamless learning, and
regulation of learning are required to advance the field of higher
education. Cases on Responsive and Responsible Learning in Higher
Education encompasses cases on responsive and responsible learning
in higher education and focuses on how the concepts are translated
into practice by instructors, learning facilitators, and higher
education managers. The book also deals with various practicalities
and strategies and adopts existing models and frameworks for 21st
century learning. Covering key topics such as learner agency,
mindfulness, and personalized learning, this reference work is
ideal for administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians,
practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
Modern societies tend to demand innovative learning modalities in
which foreign languages are used to teach content subjects from
very early educational stages. Education authorities in different
geographical areas of the world are currently working to determine
how bilingual teaching should be developed depending, along with
many other factors, on the initial training of bilingual education
teachers. On this basis, it is necessary to review how tertiary
education institutions deal with the theoretical foundations and
practical approaches necessary for this learning modality to train
bilingual education teachers for primary schools. Training Teachers
for Bilingual Education in Primary Schools includes international
experiences of teacher training for bilingual education in primary
schools in which educators should be able to recognize themselves
and identify concrete working formulas to apply in their daily
work. Covering key topics such as teacher training, language
learning, and primary education, this reference work is ideal for
administrators, teacher trainers, policymakers, researchers,
scholars, practitioners, academicians, instructors, and students.

Bearing the Torch stands as a comprehensive history of the
University of Tennessee, replete with anecdotes and vignettes of
interest to anyone interested in UT, from the administrators and
chancellors to students and alums, and even to the Vols fans whose
familiarity with the school comes mainly from the sports page. It
is also a biography of a school whose history reflects that of its
state and its nation. The institution that began as Blount College
in 1794 in a frontier village called Knoxville exemplifies the
relationship between education and American history. This is the
first scholarly history of UT since 1984. T. R. C. Hutton not only
provides a much-needed update, but also seeks to present a social
history of the university, fully integrating historical context and
showing how the volume's central "character"-the university
itself-reflects historical themes and concerns. For example, Hutton
shows how the school's development was hampered in the early
nineteenth century by stingy state funding (a theme that also
appears in subsequent decades) and Jacksonian fears that publicly
funded higher education equaled elite privilege. The institution
nearly disappeared as the Civil War raged in a divided region, but
then it flourished thanks to policies that never could have
happened without the war. In the twentieth century, students
embraced dramatic social changes as the university wrestled with
race, gender, and other important issues. In the Cold War era, UT
became a successful research institution and entered into a deep
partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratories that persists to
this day. All the while UT athletics experienced the highs of
national championships and the lows of lawsuits and losing seasons.
UT is a university with a universe of historical experiences. The
University of Tennessee's story has always been defined by
inclusion and exclusion, and the school has triumphed when it
practiced the former and failed when it took part in the latter.
Bearing the Torch traces that ongoing process, richly detailing the
University's contributions to what one president, Joseph Estabrook,
called the "diffusion of knowledge among the people."
Queens' College, part of the University of Cambridge, was founded
in 1448 by Margaret of Anjou, wife of the inept and ill-fated Henry
VI. The first of its 40 Presidents to date was Andrew Doket, an
ambitious Catholic priest, while the latest, the eminent economist
Dr. Mohamed El-Erian, was installed in 2020, in the midst of the
Covid pandemic. This account traces the history of the College
through the lives and times of each of the 40 Presidents in
chronological order. Their varied careers, (which encompass the
martyrdom of Saint John Fisher, incarceration in a prison ship in
the Civil War and preaching at the burning of heretics on Cathedral
Green at Ely), illustrate the interactions between the academic
community and the social, religious, cultural and political life in
Britain, over five and a half centuries.
