This volume is a practical “work book” that guides post-secondary instructors in designing a student-centred learning experience.

From the authors:

Meaningful learning opportunities “don’t just happen, they need to be intentionally designed. This book supports those who will undertake this vitally important work. [This book] is a pragmatic resource for designing courses that engage college students as active citizens. This ‘work’ book provides research-informed approaches for creating learning experiences and developing innovative, intellectually-engaging courses.”
