This must-read book considers the ways in which creativity can inspire new ideas, invigorate teaching in the adult learning space, and motivate professionals and learners alike.
Written by a diverse group of international collaborators from the TLC research group, this book empowers readers to embrace creative practices that are considered innovative, engaging, and impactful for adult learners at different levels. Drawing from a range of theoretical perspectives, contemporary research, and the lived experiences of the contributing authors, this edited volume offers readers a rich collection of pedagogical ideas and practical examples to apply within their professional practice.
Chapters are divided into three key sections:
- Engaging experiences, such as large lectures, learning beyond the classroom, innovative technologies, and creative approaches to self-reflection.
- Engaging groups, including an exploration of communities within a range of educational, research, and geographical contexts.
- Engaging tools for learning, for example, poetry, digital portfolios, and innovations in providing feedback.
An essential read for anyone working in adult education, this book highlights how practitioners may engage adult learners in creative ways within universities, with implications for further education and other adult education institutions.
