We are to publish a book with the title ACTIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION. The book will be available worldwide.

We invite faculty members at higher education institutions to write a BOOK CHAPTER showcasing an example of active learning at the university level and participate in the online symposium – where authors collaborate to finalise the book manuscript for publication.

WHY ACTIVE LEARNING?

Active learning is a method of learning where students are actively involved in the learning process.

For decades the dominant paradigm underlying university teaching 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.

Today, prime examples of learning-centred teaching and learning are based on active learning methodologies like:

• Problem-based learning
• Inquiry-based learning
• Case-based learning
• Research-based learning
• Project-based learning
• Blended learning
• and other similar methodologies

We seek inspiring examples of how such active learning methodologies are practised at the university level.

The book we will write together at the 23rd international LiHE-symposium will showcase prime examples of ACTIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION.

We call upon teachers, researchers, and relevant professionals in higher education to submit a BOOK CHAPTER 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.

The book will document ACTIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION.

The book will be published worldwide by Libri Publishing Ltd., Oxfordshire,

You will get credited as an author of the BOOK CHAPTER you submit. All BOOK CHAPTERS are double-blind reviewed, reviewed by peer-reviewers in collegial workgroups, and undergo editorial

Book editors: Kayoko Enomoto, Richard Warner and Claus Nygaard
