About this title

Synopsis

This insightful book transforms crisis reflections into longer term guidance for a responsive, engaged pedagogy within contemporary higher education (HE).

In recent years, HE institutions worldwide have seen a seismic shift that has compelled them to rapidly transition to online and blended learning models. This book captures the ingenuity and resilience of educators who not only weathered the storm but emerged from it with innovative practices that have permanently transformed the landscape of teaching and learning in universities.

Through interdisciplinary accounts and scholarly perspectives across diverse disciplines and geographies, it highlights care, creativity, and resilience in practices that build community, support learners, and foster engaged learning. Each chapter offers enduring lessons for learner-centred, responsive pedagogy, detailing innovations that practitioners permanently integrated across delivery formats.

This key title is written for HE practitioners across the globe, whether they are teaching in the context of a subject discipline or identify themselves as blended or integrated professionals. Its insights will provide inspiration, guidance, and points for reflection for all those who wish to engage with critical pedagogies and long-term transformation in contemporary HE.
