Marketing text:  This edited volume includes contributions from scholars worldwide addressing how feeling, skill, and knowledge are present in the processes of signification, the subject’s life, environment, and culture. Understanding signs, signification and their dynamics are now more crucial than ever as meaning affects how human beings flourish in social systems and societies.  This text focuses on how theories and research into meaning and signification address knowledge, skill, and feeling – three concepts that are central to semiosis. The book is primarily of interest to scholars and students working in psychology, philosophy, communication, cultural studies, the arts – and semiotics.

This book promotes student-centered approaches to the learning process, allowing students to develop skills and competences that traditional, passive learning methods cannot foster. In turn, supporting active learning with digital technology tools creates new possibilities in terms of pedagogical design and implementation. This book addresses the latest research and practice in the use of technology to promote active learning. As such, on the one hand, it focuses on active pedagogical methodologies like problem-based learning, design thinking and agile approaches; on the other, it presents best practice cases on the use of digital environments to support these methodologies. Readers will come to understand and learn to apply active learning methodologies, either by replicating the best practices presented here, or by creating their own methods.
