Written by teachers for educators and researchers, this is the first handbook to present a series of insights that teachers may use to conceive, design, execute, and develop active learning experiences for authentic assessment that will enrich students’ learning experiences. Active Learning considers a series of educational methods where students play an active role in the learner-centered process, engaging beyond passive listening and note taking, through hands-on learning experiences.Contributions from international experts introduce the notion of authentic assessment, where students evidence their knowledge through thoughtful understanding, by being able to do something effective, transformative, or novel with a problem or complex situation. Showcasing a range of active learning approaches such as collaborative learning, experiential learning, gamification and learning by teaching, chapters also tackle one of the most urgent challenges in higher education – the emergence of artificial intelligence.All the chapters presented in this handbook are practical in scope and can be adjusted for use in both pedagogic and andragogic environments.
