Rezensionen

"Mackh is uniquely and exceptionally qualified to help us better understand how adopting a learning-centered, design thinking orientation will equip us to engage students in the beneficial practices of creative thinking, problem finding, and innovative action. Indeed, Higher Education by Design offers frameworks, plans, and recommendations flexible and nimble enough for a broad range of contexts that will appeal to both early on teachers and those of us who have spent decades in the classroom."
-Dànielle Nicole DeVoss, Professor of Professional Writing and Director of Graduate Programs in Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures at Michigan State University

"Higher Education by Design comes at an important and opportune moment. Mackh provides readers with intentional, strategic, and tactical approaches to employ design thinking in post-secondary education. The arrival of a book that goes beyond buzzword and codifies design thinking into relevant pedagogical practice and approaches to learning is both welcome and timely."
-Laurence Kaptain, Dean of the College of Arts & Media at the University of Colorado Denver

"The author has presented strategies that, when implemented, can improve the performance of new and experienced teachers in higher education. Extensive references are presented at the end of every chapter. I can highly recommend this book to people from other disciplines as well as from education settings. Faculty without an educational background can enhance their teaching practices for the sake of their students in order to prepare them to meet job market requirements in the 21st century."
