Showcasing innovative practices from across differentfields of science, the book is cross-disciplinary and inclusive.

This is the latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series. Active Learning has at least two major benefits: 1) it engages students in their learning, and 2) it enhances their deeper learning outcomes. In this book, authors from universities in Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Romania, Turkey, the UK and the USA show how they have used active learning to engage their students and improve their deeper learning outcomes. Reading the book, you will gain insight into how the authors designed and carried out their teaching, using one of these eleven active learning methods: authentic project-based learning; case-based learning; experience-based learning; flipped and peer learning; inquiry-based learning; learning space design; project-based learning; research-based learning; students as partners framework; technology-enhanced learning; and virtual exchange co-design.The deeper learning outcomes documented by surveying or interviewing students include: a sense of belonging for improving retention; development of graduate attributes; digital pedagogy and professional skills; engaged and enhanced learning experiences; enhanced well-being; graduate employability; interpersonal and leadership skills; reflective practitioners; research communication competencies; and retention and employability. All the chapters in the book are underpinned by contemporary learning theories and methodologies on active learning. Yet, they are written in a direct and accessible language to inspire the reader to engage in teaching practices that enhance active learning in higher education.

A collection of expert essays on innovative teaching and learning in higher education.

In the evolving landscape of higher education, this book is a vital resource which addresses a fundamental concern: how to effectively enhance student learning outcomes and adequately prepare students for their professional futures. The book presents a central model for enhancing student learning outcomes, the ESLO model, which is a meticulously crafted framework designed to optimise the academic experience and outcomes for students in higher education. Each stage represents a critical step in the instructional journey, ensuring that teaching and learning methodologies are tailored to students’ unique needs, effectively implemented, and subsequently assessed for their impact. The development of the ESLO model is a response to the growing demand for a more systematic, evidence-based approach in education – one that prioritises student learning outcomes and prepares students effectively for their future careers.Comprising 15 chapters, the book presents a wide range of perspectives from university educators spanning four continents: Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America. Their contributions detail their systematic approaches to designing, enacting, and assessing teaching and learning activities to enhance specific learning outcomes. Enhancing Student Learning Outcomes in Higher Education is an inspiring read for educators dedicated to advancing their pedagogical techniques and optimising student success.
