Description

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.

Foreword Foreword

Troubes in Thaiand No matter were I travel around tis planet, wen it comes to education, everyone I meet wants teir community, organization, or institution to be among te best and ave some program, course, or even a module witin it tat ranks wit te ﬁnest seen elsewere. hose aspirations often lead to overarcing visions and lofty goals to strive toward. In tis foreword, I discuss some of te opeful educational visions I ave seen wen visiting hailand during te past decade. Notably, eac capter in tis book also lays out some type of vision, model, or best practice. Across te 15 capters, it is evident tat tere are new roles for educators and students tat need to be embraced to foster deeper understanding and often more self-directed forms of learning. You will ﬁnd tat te book contributors reﬂect on te various projects, initiatives, and learning communities tat ave been built and tested to foster knowledge interaction, creation, and excange in a more equitable, inclusive, and meaningful way tan previ-ously seen. In eﬀect, tey ave joined forces in tis volume to oﬀer us stories of ow to eﬀectively ‘Enance Student Learning Outcomes’ — ESLO— in iger education; and wit tat, teESLO Modelis born. And tat leads to my story. Have you ever been talked into giving a speec on a topic you never eard of before, let alone, ad actually read anyting about? If so, ow did it go? Ironically, tis situation appened to me back in February 2014 and again tree years later in te same city and country. On te morning of February 19, 2014, I received an email from my old friend hitinun (Ta) Boonseng from te University of Missouri. At te time, I was on sabbatical, and Ta was arranging te hailand portion of my scedule for an upcoming trip to hailand and Vietnam. I ad full conﬁdence in Ta as e ad previously arranged a fantastic trip to hailand back in December 2006. hat journey was during a military coup tat included te ousting of Prime Minister haksin Sinawatra by te hai army. At te time, Ta informed me tat is dissertation advisor and my good friend at te University of Missouri, te famed learning tecnologist, Dr. David Jonassen, ad decided not

Foreword to travel to Bangkok for an educational conference due primarily to safety reasons. So Ta was wondering if I would be interested in taking is place and give te conference keynote at Ramkamaeng Univer-sity. After more tan an our on te pone wit im, I ﬁnally agreed. Fortunately, it was te rigt coice. I was deligted by te ospitality and igly respectful nature of everyone in Bangkok as well as Ciang Mai and Maa Sarakam wit wom I encountered during my week in hailand. I even got to celebrate my birtday tere into te wee ours of te nigt on December 16, 2006. Fast forward to February 2014, and te anti-government protest movement was growing muc louder in te Land of Smiles (BBC News, 2014). Once again, I was warned to be cautious if I was to go tere. Demonstrations and military responses ad been front-page news te mont before. By some reports, on some days, more tan 150,000 people ad massed in te streets of Bangkok, along wit approximately 20,000 security personnel (BC News, 2014). I ad also read tat eigt people ad already died in te violence and undreds more were injured (Olarn et al., 2014). he New York Times even named te university in wic I was supposed to speak at, Culalongkorn University, as one of te key institutions wic was divided (Fuller, 2014). To my surprise, some of my Cula friends tat I talked to were involved in te protests. Wat was evident was tat tousands of people were marcing, demonstrating, and protesting against te government of Prime Minister Yingluck Sinawatra’s as well as te former Prime Minister haksin Sinawatra, wo was er older broter. he marcers wanted te prime minister replaced for corruption, ineptitude, and an assortment of oter reasons, among wic included being a puppet of er billionaire older broter (Fuller, 2014). Of course, er attempts at getting an amnesty bill passed for er broter certainly did not elp matters (Olarn et al., 2014). A few weeks earlier, Ta once again assured me not to be scared out of coming to hailand. I told im tat I ad survived an incident tree years prior in Riyad, Saudi Arabia after te Second International Conference on e-Learning and Distance Learning in wic I tougt I was being kidnapped by my taxi driver. Fortunately, te power window still worked after e locked me inside and went out to yell at someone on is mobile pone late tat nigt. Later, it was determined tat tis crazed taxi driver was only attempting to scare te bejesus out of me, and, tereby, extort

Foreword some money before delivering me to te airport for my journey ome. he extortion part did not work; te oter part deﬁnitely did. his situ-ation in hailand sounded mild in comparison. he email tat I received from Ta tat day concerned anoter matter. In tat February 14, 2014 email, e told me tat: “Folks at Cula [Cula-longkorn University] would like to ask if tey could modify te name of te topic of your talk to ‘Education 3.0: his is te Next Generation.’ Education 3.0 as been teir key performance indicator. Would you be willing to do tat?” I tougt for a moment and responded, “If I could travel to hailand during a military coup on my previous trip, speaking on Education 3.0 would be a breeze.” In eﬀect, I ad survived muc worse; for instance, back in te ﬁrst six monts of 2011, I ad a series of a dozen straigt travels wit inci-dents suc as ice in te engines, ﬂat tires on te runways, canceled ﬂigts, people being bumped oﬀ ﬂigts just as we were about to take oﬀ, pilots wo could not ﬁnd te airport runway due to fog, pilots wo could not land te plane due to extreme weater, and so on. Kidnappings, extortions, military coups, etc., I ad seen it all (Bonk, 2011). So, naturally, I said yes wen e asked me to return to Bangkok to speak on Education 3.0 during yet anoter military cue. How diﬃcult or stressful could it be? Now, I started to scratc my ead. “Wat is Education 3.0?”, I asked Ta. He really did not know and said tat tey wanted me to speak on it anyway. hailand wanted to pus teir educational system and economy aead and tis was one of te key mecanisms for doing so. It was for me to ﬁgure it out and create a presentation. Wat I did know, just like te title of tis book implies, is tat Education 3.0 was anoter way of saying tat tey wanted to enance student learning outcomes in tese fast-canging economic and educa-tional times. Instruction in te 21st century must prepare learners in iger education settings for vastly diﬀerent careers tan tey would ave experienced in te previous one. I am a product of 20t-century skill training to be an accountant, and, so, terefore, I fully realize tat suc drill-and-kill curriculum approaces are no longer suﬃcient. We need to enance student learning outcomes, not in te coming decade, but today. Rigt ere, rigt now. Given climate cange and te transformation of learning and work settings, we need to immediately enance, extend, elevate, and transform student learning outcomes (Bonk & Zu, 2022; Koo & Bonk, 2022). he world needs problem

Foreword ﬁnders as muc as it needs problem solvers. It also requires workers to increasingly ave global collaboration skills to negotiate and build ideas as well as te communication skills to present tem. People need innovation and idea-generation mindsets as well as analytical skills to properly evaluate novel designs and artifacts.

The Search for Education 3.0 So, as most people do wen asked to present someting new alfway around te world, I went on a fact-ﬁnding mission. My initial searc troug te literature yielded minimal results. But I did eventually stumble upon a couple of writings. As I informed Ta less tan an our later, “here are many deﬁnitions of it. Some are more mobile-focused; some are tinking skill-focused; some are K-12 focused; and some are eclectic. I tend to be more eclectic.” hen I asked im wat e tougt I migt do. In tat same email cain, I mentioned tat I ad already discovered one igly informative and quite unexpected source related to Education 3.0. It was an intriguing article found in a 2007 issue ofFirst Mondaydescribing te emergence of Education 3.0 and its potential utility in Africa. Autored by Derek Keats and J. Pillip Scmidt of te University of te Western Cape in Cape Town, Sout Africa, tat article reﬂected on tree educational generations in iger education (Keats & Scmidt, 2007). Across tese tree generations, Education 1.0, Education 2.0, and Education 3.0, tere is increasing access to information and greater control over te creation and use of it. In Education 1.0, te teacer or professor is te key source of content knowledge; most of wic is covered by traditional copyrigt. Learners are given tests to assess teir understanding of tat knowledge. hese courses and exams are oﬀered by an accredited institution. As we all know, suc teacing to te test system is largely passive. It is a one-way trans-mission system from an instructor to awaiting students. If tecnology is involved, it is mainly in te service of te storage of tat course content to wic te learner clicks is way troug. In te early days of e-learning, suc a system was referred to as ‘sovelware’ (Bonk & Dennen, 1999; Oliver & McLouglin, 1999). Fellow educational psycologists deemed tis approac as a continuation of beavioral teories of learning. Suc objectively based approaces ave been dominant in education for more
