Giving higher education professionals the language and tools they need to seize new opportunities in digital learning. A quiet revolution is sweeping across US colleges and universities. As schools rethink how students learn - both inside and outside the classroom - technology is changing not only what should be taught but how best to teach it. From active learning and inclusive pedagogy to online and hybrid courses, traditional institutions are leveraging their fundamental strengths while challenging long-standing assumptions about how teaching and learning happen. At this intersection of learning, technology, design, and organizational change lies the foundation of a new academic discipline of digital learning. Coalescing around this new field of study is a common critical language, along with a set of theoretical frameworks, methodological practices, and shared challenges and goals. In Learning Innovation and the Future of Higher Education, Joshua Kim and Edward Maloney explore the context of this new discipline, show how it exists within a larger body of scholarship, and give examples of how this scholarship is being used on campuses. What Kim and Maloney demonstrate in this foundational text is an understanding that change is a complex dynamic between what happens in the classroom and the larger institutional structures and traditions at play. Ultimately, the authors make a compelling case not only for this turn to learning but also for creating new pathways for nonfaculty learning careers, understanding the limits of professional organizations and social media, and the need to establish this new interdisciplinary field of learning innovation.

Tired of feeling lost in the financial wilderness? Ready to ditch those get-rich-quick schemes and embrace lasting financial wisdom? Unleash Financial Mastery in 2024 is your trusty map and compass, guiding you through the twists and turns of the money world. This isn't your grandpa's finance book. We're talking about building a future where everyone has a seat at the financial table, where investments heal the planet instead of harming it. We'll dive headfirst into the psychology of money – because let's face it, our brains can be our own worst enemy when it comes to cash. Ever heard of FinTech? It's not just a buzzword, it's a revolution. This book reveals how technology is shaking up the financial world and putting power back in your hands. But knowledge is power, right? That's why we're arming you with the financial know-how to make smart choices, dodge those debt traps, and build a future you're excited about. Think finance is just for suits on Wall Street? Think again. We're pulling back the curtain on how businesses make their money magic happen, how markets dance to the tune of supply and demand, and how the rules of the game keep things (mostly) fair. We'll even journey into the world of microloans, where small sums of money spark big changes in communities that need it most. But this isn't just about theory – it's about YOU. We'll map out a personalized path to financial success, whether you're dreaming of early retirement, starting a business, or just making ends meet without the stress sweats.
