Creative Learning, Teaching, and Assessment for Arts and Humanities Higher Education

Book excerpt: Higher education should be a place for students to innovate, create, and expand their horizons, and in order to create an environment which allows for all these things, tutors need to be able and willing to do the same. This practical and informative book explores how a diverse range of tutors working in the Arts and Humanities disciplines have succeeded in thinking creatively about their teaching, module design, and extra-curricular activities without losing sight of necessary academic rigour. The book explores: · experimental learning environments · student and lecturer collaborations · the development of students' employability and transferable skills · creative and imaginative assessment design · embedding mental wellbeing techniques into curricula The varied roles, subjects, and locations of the contributors enables rigorous and diverse international exploration of creative pedagogy in higher education and the book will particularly appeal to those looking to bring creativity to higher education.
