Rezensionen
If you are designing a new course or want to change one you have taught for years, this book is for you. I am recommending it to new and seasoned faculty who want to increase student engagement. Badley offers up a storehouse of ideas with sufficient details for immediate implementation. New ideas and reframed techniques categorized according to their best purpose provide the reader rationale for selecting a particular strategy. This book will stay open on my desk!

Ken Badley generously shares with us his tied and tested practical strategies for learning-centred instruction. More importantly, he shows us how engaging student learning can be fun for everyone involved, even when it is online. Ever the realist, Ken imagines the best, takes the edge off the worst of the stress, encourages us with humour, and gifts us his own experiences. This not a tirade against lecturing; this is a wonderful overview of strategies that enrich learning and teaching. Ken anticipates the criticisms of lethargic or anxious faculty and invites instructors and learners past the tyranny of 'covering the content'. If you or your faculty want to move from good, to better, let Ken guide you through learning-centred instruction. Buy and share your copy of Engaging College and University Students widely.

How can I inspire each of my students to be actively involved in their own learning? This is obviously the most important question asked by the most memorable or the most influential teachers. That's the question that kept Ken Badley awake and led him to create a wonderfully enthusiastic, encouraging book for teachers in higher education. This book immediately resonated with my own professional questions energized me, even though I work half-way around the world.

The book provides readers with a balanced overview of the principles of learning-centered education while offering a rich bank of strategies. In concrete, clear and inspiring ways, Badley opens up space for colleagues to provide students with unforgettable study experiences, experiences that will bring them joy as they acquire new knowledge and skills. Engaging College and University Students offers readers ideas about how to approach all phases of the teaching process-from course design and detailed planning of the start of the course, to students' learning experience through the semester, to assessment and feedback. Badley addresses the range of students' senses by offering strategies related to reading, writing, discussion, and even the arts.
