Such courses are also opportunities…

Many environmental educators and philosophers have identified anthropocentrism and the socially constructed separation between humans and "the more-than-human world" (Abram, 1996) as primary root causes of current ecological devastation. This separation is embedded in Western schooling content and structures and is often unintentionally…

Keller-Mathers, Susan – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2011
Building passion and potential for creative learning in higher education involves deliberately seeking to understand, appreciate, and teach for creativity.

Grove-White, Annie – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2011
This paper proposes that given today's "wicked" problems (Malhotra, 1997), where there are complex issues with no clear answers, where boundaries are fuzzy and the outcome is usually never known and unexpected, creativity can be enhanced, at appropriate moments, by making modes of thinking explicit. Using a particular heuristic approach…

Cunnin, Betty; Macpherson, Alice; Matteoni, James Alan – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2011
Educators know that to engage learners in the enterprise of critical thinking, learner's need to care enough to pay attention, and feel safe enough to take intellectual risks. When interacting asynchronously in online forums, it can become even more challenging to create a space that encourages reflective, integrative, and higher order thinking.…

Krug, Kate – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2011
Engaging students while providing them with the necessary linguistic and critical skills as a foundation for further exploration are the principle challenges for those of us who teach disciplinary introductory courses.
