Creative Learning in Higher Education Reviews

Shouldn't higher education focus on helping students to become complex thinkers armed with the skills necessary for success in a world defined by change? In the innovation era, perhaps the most valuable contribution the university experience can make is to promote student creativity.- Gerald J. Pucchi, Chair and Professor, International Center for Studies in Creativity, Buffalo State-The State University of New York

This isn't a 'light' book on creativity in education - it interrogates the status quo of education and offers reflective, practical, and theoretical approaches to subverting this with transformative creative teaching and learning. -Maha Bali, Associate Professor of Practice, Center for Learning and Teaching, The American University of Cairo

This book provides a holistic picture and in-depth analysis on how to nurture creativity in higher education. At a moment when the advancement of technology makes individual's creativity the most important ingredient for a successful career, this book is an exceptional resource on creative learning for higher education professionals and policy makers. -Stefan Popenici, Senior Lecturer in Higher Education, University of Melbourne
