        Engaging with Learning in Higher Education

        by Ian Solomonides, Anna Reid and Peter Petocz

It explores student engagement from a number of contexts and provides a contemporary analysis of practice and research on student engagement from various parts of the world, several disciplines and across the lifetime of the student. Student engagement has become increasingly important in higher education and this book reviews and challenges some of the current orthodoxies around related concepts and enhancements. Split into four sections the book examines the background to and nature of student engagement, related pedagogies, examples of student engagement in context and finally, the implications for policy.   View book on Libri website

        Design for a Complex World

        Challenges in Practice and Education

        by Graham Cairns

        This book is founded on the belief that the forces of globalisation that have affected design practice for decades have, in recent years, manifested themselves in design education as well. The book brings together authors, practitioners and educators from ten countries across six continents, Australia, East Germany, the UK, the US, Mexico, Hong Kong, Finland, Central India, Greece and South Africa. Each contributor addresses radical design, architecture, art and politics and offers an overview of the socio-cultural and economic factors that affect the built environment in their particular region of the world. They discuss how the practices of architecture, interior design, planning and landscape architecture interact with these forces but, equally as importantly, how design education does the same.   View book on Libri website

        Interiors Education Futures

        Contemporary Insights

        by Paul Rodgers

        Interior spaces play a huge part in our everyday experiences. They help us rest, they provide facilities for cleaning us, they help transport us from one place to another in safety and comfort and they help us relax. The designed interiors of university libraries, restaurants, factories, cafes, airplanes, trains, automobiles and nightclubs therefore significantly contribute to making us all feel warmer, better, brighter, faster and happier. Interiors Education Futures contains 16 intriguing and stimulating papers on the subject of interior design / architecture education. The collection of papers contained within this edited book deal with a wide range of interior design education-related subjects including storytelling, practice-led design projects, post-optimal design, the phenomenology of retail design spaces, physical computing technologies in interior architecture and design for branded environments, amongst others.   View book on Libri website

        Remaking Memory

        Autoethnography, Memoir and the Ethics of Self

        by John Freeman

        When research is so connected to personal interest, experience, and familiarity that objectivity becomes a moveable feast, the line between documentation and invention blurs to near-invisibility. John Freeman asks what it means to locate oneself into research findings and narrative reports, and what happens when one's self goes further and becomes the research.Subjecting received truths to a series of hard questions, readers are taken on a journey through self-performance;traumatic memoir; the lure of weasel words; emotional evocation; the vagaries of memory; creative nonfiction; cultural appropriation; illusion masquerading as truth and the complex ethics of university research.Case studies from international autoethnographers run through the book and appendices provide invaluable advice to university researchers and supervisors. The result is a work that sheds new light on forms of narrative research that connect writers’ personal stories to the participatory cultures under investigation.   View book on Libri website

        Reinventing Architecture and Interiors

        a socio-political view on building adaptation

        by Graham Cairns

        The history of design has traditionally been a story of new ideas, new theories and, above all, new construction. However, today, the developed world is on the cusp of a new era. The financial crisis, the sustainability movement and the conservation agenda are all leading to ever more alterations of existing buildings - and ever fewer new build projects. This new condition will have major consequences for all those involved in the design of the built environment both now, and in the future. These issues, that will invariably alter the nature of the profession form the basis of Reinventing Architecture and Interiors – a book that challenges the standard view on the relationship between interiors and architecture. Written by international experts it is fully illustrated with contemporary examples. It is an important addition to the literature of architecture and interiors today.   View book on Libri website

        Interior Tools Interior Tactics

        Debates in Interiors Theory and Practice

        by Joyce Fleming, Frazer Hay, Edward Hollis, Andrew Milligan and Drew Plunkett

        Interior Architecture and Design is an ephemeral art, whose raw material is empty space and whose legacy is contested and fragmentary. Compared with more established disciplines, Interiors has received little theoretical attention: visit any bookshop and under ‘Interior Design’ you will find a large number of coffee table books and little else. Interior Tools, Interior Tactics examines what it is that interior architects and designers actually do. Featuring contributions from practitioners and theorists, Interior Tools, Interior Tactics addresses the tools of the trade of interiors and their tactical employment in the creative industries. Interior Tools, Interior Tactics describes the new professional boundaries, research territories and educational horizons and speculates on how these spheres will collectively determine the future strategies of interior design / interior architecture in the 21st century. The book contains contributions from some of the leading thinkers in the field of Interior Architecture and Design.   View book on Libri website

        Articulating Design Thinking

        by Paul Rodgers

        Articulating Design Thinking contains a collection of thought-provoking papers from researchers based in eight different countries around the world – Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Israel, UK, USA, Australia and Turkey – that all deal with articulations of design thinking from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. These include: architecture, inclusive design, industrial design and interaction design. The phrase “design thinking” has become cemented in our everyday lexicon. Design thinking now routinely extends, so it is claimed, to contemporary forms of design, engineering, business and management practice. Often viewed as a particular style of creative thinking-in-action – design thinking, we are told, can transform the way we develop products, services, processes and even strategy. This book examines the many facets of design thinking across a range of different design domains through comparing and contrasting the processes, methods and approaches contained within this thought-provoking collection of papers.   View book on Libri website

        Quality Enhancement of University Teaching and Learning

        A Learning in Higher Education anthology

        by Claus Nygaard, Nigel Courtney and Paul Bartholomew

        The challenge addressed by the international scholars and academic practitioners contributing to Quality Enhancement of University Teaching and Learning is how best to enhance the quality of university teaching and learning, and thereby generate a culture of quality in Higher Education. The book focuses on approaches to Quality Enhancement (QE), a process which has significant differences to the interrelated concept of Quality Assurance (QA), particularly in relation to aspirations for change. Since successful QE initiatives must always involve jointly the student, the teacher and the institution, the three sections of the anthology address the practice of QE in relation to each of these constituencies. Examples of quality enhancement in higher education from Australia, Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, Iceland, Portugal, Scotland, and United Arab Emirates are presented, with each section starting from contributions offering micro-level approaches and progressing to those offering macro-level perspectives.   View book on Libri website

        Closeness at a Distance

        Leading Virtual Groups to High Performance

        by Dr. Marcus Hildebrandt, Line Jehle, Stefan Meister and Susanne Skoruppa

        ‘Closeness at a Distance’ is a groundbreaking approach to the challenges so many teams, and team leaders, face today. Virtual working is now a reality for most professionals, and the winners of tomorrow will be companies that proactively drive the performance of their virtual co-operations. Virtual leadership, project management at a distance and networking are today’s and tomorrow’s critical success factors. So any leader needs to ask himself or herself "Is your virtual collaboration as successful as it should be?" How to answer this question, and how to improve performance in this key area, is the focus of this book. It guides team leaders, project and network managers, members, and even whole organizations, to areas of potential improvement in virtual performance and will help them turn vital challenges into competitive advantages.   View book on Libri website

        Postgraduate Education: Form and Function

        A Learning in Higher Education anthology

        by Claus Nygaard, Nigel Courtney and Liezel Frick

        This book is a response to concerns that policies and practices of higher education have tended to draw too much attention towards academic content and to teaching as a core discipline. Yet literature suggests that students are often ill-prepared for the changes in learning, teaching and curriculum approaches from the undergraduate to postgraduate levels. While the dominant belief appears to be that students learn when teachers transfer knowledge to them, the students themselves expect to function more independently in postgraduate education. This anthology presents an alternative view, moving from a discipline-based view to a learning-based view on higher education. The anthology will be essential reading for all those who work with quality issues in higher education. Working with quality enhancement is the art of positively matching multiple stakeholder relations and at the same time continuously innovating within existing good practice. The chapter authors reflect upon proposed strategies for managing stakeholder relations.   View book on Libri website

        Beyond Transmission - Innovations in University Teaching

        A Learning in Higher Education anthology

        by Claus Nygaard, Nigel Courtney and Clive Holtham

        Higher education today finds itself confronting many challenges, economic, technological and social. Universities’ reliance on ‘transmissive education’, with the lecture as the dominant vehicle for many of their processes, is being thrown into ever greater question. Beyond Transmission: Innovations in University Teaching responds to the challenges to higher education by championing a shift to a constructivist approach. The contributors, from five continents and reflecting ten national mindsets, represent a broad cross-section of educational disciplines. They argue that innovatory teaching approaches are essential if teachers are to appeal to the mindsets of people entering higher education today and present detailed examples of new ways of instilling in students a love of and ability for learning. Beyond Transmission: Innovations in University Teaching states that any innovatory teaching approach that goes beyond transmission requires consideration of three essential factors: vision, process and practice. The anthology’s contributions are organised around each of these imperatives in turn.   View book on Libri website

        Student Engagement - Identity, Motivation and Community

        A Learning in Higher Education anthology

        by Claus Nygaard, Stuart Brand, Paul Bartholomew and Luke Millard

        Today, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are bombarded by pressures and challenges demanding innovative responses. Although international higher education continues to experience considerable growth, there still is a need to review the learning landscapes of mature higher education systems. In such times, and especially when the financial demands on prospective students change, the relationships between the student and the university, or more crudely between the customer and the provider, are modified and expectations are likely to rise. In response to these challenges, a common central theme has been the need to improve 'student engagement'. All the case studies describe approaches based on partnership and not on transaction, but they also show that the challenge is not just to institutions and decision makers in the sector but to the student bodies themselves. They indicate that both institutions and student representative bodies alike need to question some of the long held dogma on how universities and students should interact.   View book on Libri website
