Understanding learning-centred higher education

This book is the product of an international symposium held in Greece in June 2008 and arranged by the international academic association Learning in Higher Education it addresses the importance of moving from a content-based view to a learning-centred view of higher education. Researchers and practitioners from five continents discuss three central themes that concern learning-centred higher education -- the concept of learning; curriculum; and learning, teaching, and assessment processes. The chapters integrate theoretical conceptualisations and empirical examples. The book thereby offers both new approaches to the understanding of learning-centred higher education, as well as normative implications and examples of best practices from people involved in everyday practices of quality enhancement within higher education.
