Active Learning in Higher Education: Theoretical Considerations and Perspectives

This book explores perspectives on active learning as creative discovery. It draws on the experiences of academics, learning technologists and clinical practitioners, and invites the reader to think about our conceptualisations of active learning and to move beyond mere demonstrations of its effectiveness.
