ABOUT THE BOOK WE'RE GOING TO PUBLISH WORLDWIDE

The aim of higher education is to the improve knowledge, skills, and competencies of students to prepare them for their future lives and careers. For many years the dominant paradigm underlying this endeavour has been didactic teaching in lecture theatres, where one responsible teacher delivers content to students. Social learning theories, modern epistemologies, and new technologies are some of the aspects that have pushed for a change in the paradigm of teaching and learning in higher education.

The book we are going to write together at the 20th international LiHE-symposium in Wonderful Copenhagen, May 14-15-16, 2018, will showcase INNOVATIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICES IN HIGHER EDUCATION.

We call upon teachers, researchers, and relevant professionals in higher education to join forces and submit their INNOVATIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICE for inclusion in this inspiring international book of the highest quality. The book will inspire readers to engage their students in new ways of teaching and learning.
