This latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series,
Learning-Centred Curriculum Design in Higher Education is written
to inspire and empower university teachers to engage in curriculum
design processes that centre both the learning process and the
learning outcomes of students. The book is structured by a central
model of curriculum design, which links together learning (how
students learn versus what students learn) and curriculum design
(the process by which we design versus what we design). The book
holds ten illustrative examples of learning-centred curriculum
design spanning four distinct approaches. The chapter authors are
all pioneering learning-centred activities in their respective
curricula. The book is truly international, with authors from
Denmark, England, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Turkey, and the
USA. The beauty of this book is that it was written by reflective
curriculum design practitioners, as they have experienced personal
success with their curriculum (re)design processes. All chapters
have been written with a "Yes, we did it!" attitude. The book aims
to inspire university teachers and encourage investment in
designing a more learning-centred curriculum. As the evidence from
these examples shows, there are great benefits for students'
engagement, motivation, self-efficacy, learning outcomes, and
employability.
This latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series, New
Innovations in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education presents
primary examples of innovative teaching and learning practices in
higher education. The authors - scholars of teaching and learning
from universities across the globe - all share the ambition to
develop educational provisions to become much more
learning-centred. Such learning-centredness is key to quality
enhancement of contemporary higher education and may be achieved
with a variety of methods. The chapters document innovative
teaching and learning practices within six areas: Engaging Students
through Practice - Student-Centred e-Learning - Technology for
Learning - Simulation - Effective Transformation - Curriculum
Innovations The book is truly international, containing
contributions from Australia, Denmark, England, Hong Kong,
Switzerland, Qatar, Scotland, South Africa, Tasmania, Vietnam, and
the USA. Although the educational contexts are very different
across these countries, there appears to be a striking similarity
in the approach to innovative teaching and learning - a similarity
which also runs through the six areas of the book. Whether scholars
of teaching and learning engage in simulations, e-learning,
transformation or use of modern technologies, they work to empower
students.
