Book Review

How we design learning for students in colleges and universities is suddenly a matter of intense interest. Faculty are exploring new designs, new ways of assessing and engaging students. While the lecture method persists, despite the lack of evidence for its efficacy, more and more instructors are looking to design thinking and design frameworks to improve student engagement, learning outcomes and their own satisfaction with their work. Given the interest in the growth of blended learning and the willingness to experiment and take risks in teaching evidenced during the pandemic, this book is timely and helpful. It helps the reader understand how they can achieve the course outcomes in creative and imaginative ways and uses case studies and a systematic design approach to help readers see possibilities. Well written and focused, it is worth a look.
