Thislatest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series, Learning-Centred Curriculum Design in Higher Education is written to inspire and empower university teachersto engage in curriculum design processes that centre both the learning processand the learning outcomes of students. The book is structured by a centralmodel of curriculum design, which links together learning (how students learn versus whatstudents learn) and curriculum design (theprocess by which we design versus whatwe design). The book holds ten illustrative examples of learning-centredcurriculum design spanning four distinct approaches. The chapter authors are allpioneering learning-centred activities in their respective curricula. The bookis truly international, with authors from Denmark, England, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Turkey, and the USA. The beauty of this book isthat it was written by reflective curriculum design practitioners, as they haveexperienced personal success with their curriculum (re)design processes. Allchapters have been written with a Yes, we did it! attitude. The book aims toinspire university teachers and encourage investment in designing a morelearning-centred curriculum. As the evidence from these examples shows, thereare great benefits for students engagement, motivation, self-efficacy, learning outcomes, and employability.
