Policies, Principles, Practices
This book addresses the various challenges facing university foreign language teaching in non-anglophone countries in the era of educational globalization. Growing student mobility, net-based cross-border university education, and universities opening subsidiaries in other countries force university teachers to offer their teaching in English rather than in their mother tongue, and universities to equip their staff members with the necessary foreign language competencies. As a reflection of societal and institutional globalization processes, dedicated language teachers strive to adjust teaching methods to new student identities, the availability of advanced learning technologies, and social ...
Improving Students' Learning Outcomes
Improving Students' Learning Outcomes is a book for educators and administrators in higher education who have a genuine interest in developing an inspired curriculum centered on student learning. Integrating theoretical perspectives with empirical practice, researchers and practitioners from four continents discuss why and how students' learning outcomes can be improved. The book offers new theoretical approaches to the understanding of students' learning outcomes, as well as normative implications and inspiring examples from people professionally engaged in teaching, learning, and assessment-practices. Editors Claus Nygaard and Clive Holtham are the founders of the international academic association LIHE (Learning in Higher Education). The book came out of an international symposium held on Aegina Island, Greece, arranged by LIHE.
Student Engagement
Discussions of student engagement often involve terms such as partnership, student-centered learning and co-creation of learning. Yet, as Student Engagement: Identity, Motivation and Community demonstrates, these are not simple concepts and delivering them in reality is a considerable challenge for universities.
Teaching, Learning, and Leading With Computer Simulations
Computer simulation, a powerful technological tool and research-proven pedagogical technique, holds great potential to enhance and transform teaching and learning in education and is therefore a viable tool to engage students in deep learning and higher-order thinking. With the advancement of simulation technology (e.g., virtual reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning) and the expanded disciplines where computer simulation is being used (e.g., data science, cyber security), computer simulation is playing an increasingly significant role in leading the digital transformation in K-12 schools and higher education institutions, as well as training and professional development in corpo...
Emerging Perspectives on Teaching Architecture and Urbanism
This book contains a set of essays on the teaching of Architecture and Urbanism, written by university professors and researchers from several countries. It argues that the teaching of architecture and urbanism is in a state of crisis; architecture seems unable to respond to current problems, and urbanism seems incapable of fulfilling the needs of a more balanced society and its built environment, including the human right to housing. The book comprises historical analyses, systematization of concepts, manifestos, and social evaluations, and, above all, an alignment of new objectives, curricular plans, and pedagogical methodologies.

Novel Approaches to Urban Design and Architecture Education: Design Studio Practice and Pedagogy
A significant challenge has arisen as the way people interact with their environments undergoes significant changes, requiring crucial adjustments to existing environments, design methods, and educational systems. The relationship between these elements forms the backdrop for a complex challenge faced by academic scholars and design professionals alike. As the backbone of design education, design studios operate as microcosms, each with their unique interpretation of ongoing changes and distinctive approaches to solving real-world problems. This evolving landscape prompts a pivotal question: How can the varied pedagogies within design education be curated and explored to foster a more compre...

Storying Humanity: Narratives of Culture and Society
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. Since time immemorial, storytelling has held a critical place in the heart of human identity. Whether for entertainment, education, artistry, or even survival, storytelling has served as an integral tool for expression and existence in every society and civilization across the globe. Our world has never been more connected, with stories of our past available at the touch of a key, and the ever-advancing present unfolding through personal experiences that are instantaneously narrated online. Through stories, we may gain perspective into the histories, cultures, and experiences of remote places and peoples, achieve greater understanding of complex social issues and closed-off societies, or add to the collective global narrative through blogging and social media. This collection presents the reader with multicultural and interdisciplinary academic insight into the ability for storytelling to illuminate our world and narrativize humanity.
