Description

The latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series, Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices in Higher Education introduces the reader to a number of inspiring transformative educational practices. It explores in depth what has motivated these teachers to transform their teaching, how they went about doing it, and what the results were for their students in terms of learning and engagement. The innovative practices in the book centre around three types of innovations:

Technology-based
Simulation-based
Practice-based

Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices in Higher Education takes a pedagogical, procedural, and practical approach to the development of innovative teaching and learning practices. The authors, who are university teachers themselves, focus on encouraging, empowering and enabling fellow teachers to develop, design, and implement new and innovative teaching and learning practices for the improvement of student engagement and student learning.

The book describes teaching and learning innovations in terms of the complex links between teaching practices and underlying theories and philosophies of learning. Showcasing innovative practices from across different fields of science, the book is cross-disciplinary and inclusive.

Foreword

his timely book by Enomoto, Warner and Nygaard provides a practical and inspiring review of innovation in teacing and learning. Innovation can be interpreted in diﬀerent ways and in education it is often tougt to be limited to te use of tecnology in te classroom. he various capters in tis book explore te wider nature of innovation, including stories of ow teacers and institutions ave introduced innovations tat migt be classiﬁed as breaktroug, disruptive, radical, incremental or sustainable. he book is ric in tese stories as it takes a broad view of wat innova-tion in education looks like. In te capters, autors paint a picturesque canvas wit broad brusstrokes for te reader to ponder and revise teir perception of wat constitutes innovation in education. Innovation in teacing and learning is not a product or an artefact; it is a culture and a way of tinking and working. he culture of innova-tion can be found in te interactions between students and teir peers, between students and teacers and between institutions and industry and te wider community. We can see innovation in te pysical and virtual learning environments, in student support services tat promotes te success of te individual; we see innovation in te design and delivery of educational oﬀerings tat serve a wider cross section of society, and in educational partnersips tat allow commercial educational vendors to work wit iger educational institutions to broaden our perception of wat is possible in iger education. he capters in tis book are te stories of teacers wo want to make a diﬀerence to teir students. At its core, educational innovation is about improvements in student learning, te enanced quality of course oﬀerings or services and new ways to fostering engagement. Innovation can be related to increased productivity and eﬃciency, but if tis is te only point of innovation we would all be te poorer for its implementation. Innovation in teacing and learning is also about inspiring students, teacers and te community to contest te current state of education and propose new ways of doing our core business, or even to cange te very nature of tat core business. Sometimes tese canges are evolutionary, consistent wit incremental innovation. Oter times te cange is revolutionary, and we are taken by

vii

Foreword surprise by te speed wit wic an idea as spread. Sometimes innova-tion is about breaking down barriers tat ave been constructed over decades and are considered te foundations and standards upon wic our perception of quality is built. Innovation normally involves a spark of inspiration, te courage to callenge current practices and a good dose of design tinking. Sometimes we tink of innovators as te mavericks, te teacers wo undertake secret experiments wit teir class and ope tat administra-tors will leave tem alone to get on wit teir canges. his book sows tat innovators are not mavericks, tey are te ordinary teacers wo ave ad te courage to do extraordinary tings. hese teacers want to sare teir stories; tey want to let us know wat was eﬀective and wat was not eﬀective. hese are te stories of teacers wo wanted to make a diﬀerence to teir students, to enance te experiences and outcomes of tose in teir classes. his book sows tat innovation is not a solitary journey. Teacers need to ear te stories of teir peers; teacers need support and scaf-folding to join te culture of innovation. Importantly, teacers need te support of teir institution and need recognition wen tey ave contested and canged te way we do our core business in teacing and learning. his institutional support includes policies and practices tat promote innovation and do not stiﬂe teacers wo want to contest te status quo. Our students will be graduating into a world of complexity and ambi-guity. hey need to be immersed in a caring learning environment tat engages tem in situations tat callenge teir current tinking and promotes innovation. Wat better way to foster tis type of environ-ment tan to ave teir teacers and institutions living te culture of innovation? Students sould be an active participant in tis culture, contributing to bot incremental and breaktroug innovations in teir own courses and institutions. he use of tecnology in education is only innovative if it funda-mentally canges te nature of te learning and assessment activities undertaken by students. Digitising an analogue experience may provide time or space eﬃciencies, but by itself it does not lead to a culture of inno-vation. We end up doing te same ting faster or for a lower cost. here is noting inerently wrong wit tis, but we sould not be misguided

Foreword tat tis is innovation. Digitising traditional lectures and placing tem online migt allow for a more ﬂexible timetable or for greater participa-tion in a program, but if te content is te same, if te learning activities and te assessment tasks are te same, we ave not really engaged wit innovation. Replacing traditional lecture content wit scenario-based group activities or role plays, or allowing students to design teir own assessments to sow tey ave mastered te required learning outcomes, are disruptive innovations. So wy is tis book important? It is designed for all teacers; it contains te stories of tose wo ave adopted te culture of innovation and ave dared to callenge te traditional ediﬁce of ow teacers sould teac and ow students sould learn. he capters encourage us to reﬂect on our own practices and callenge us to ave te courage to contest wat is, and start doing wat sould be.
