Post-COVID Transitions in Higher Education Teaching – Why Things Will and Should Never Be the Same Again. A case study of a UK Higher Education Institution During the COVID-19 pandemic universities around the globe were forced to transition from face-to-face teaching to remote, online learning. This was always intended to be a short-term solution until physical doors re-opened and face-to-face teaching recommenced. However, the challenges of the sudden transition to online teaching also resulted in innovative and creative teaching and learning tools and practices which came with unexpected benefits and opportunities. The recognition of this has resulted in transformations within post-COVID teaching and learning strategies. The purpose of the case studies in this book is to identify innovative transitions across all faculties and schools of a Higher Education institution in the UK – the University of Bolton – and how these are driving the development of new forms of blended and hybrid teaching and learning approaches.

The main goal of New Directions in Practical Experiential Learning is to encourage, enlighten, and enable educators, decision-makers, and students to accept experiential learning as a fundamental component of modern education. It aims to offer a forum for the sharing of concepts, methods, and revelations that highlight the transforming power of hands-on learning. Readers will discover a wide range of chapters that explore the theoretical foundations and real-world applications of experiential learning. Each chapter presents a different angle on how experiential learning can be used to bridge the gap between theory and practice, improve employability, and promote professional and personal growth.
