    "[Genetically Modified Organisms: A Scientific-Political Dialogue on a Meaningless Meme is] presents the debate associated with introducing GMOs as a traditional debate between science and progress against dogma. After reading it, I hope that science will win for the sake of all of us."

Engaged Learners and Digital Citizens: Critical Outcomes for Teaching and Learning

The world of higher education is entering a new phase in its history. Now, and in the coming decades, the ubiquitous role of digital technology will dramatically influence the manner in which teaching and learning are designed and delivered. This book encourages faculty to adopt a proactive stance in relation to technology through the use of engaging digital tools that promote skill acquisition and inspire critical thinking in today’s college students (and tomorrow’s leaders).

The book delineates a conceptual model for digital learning, and provides specific examples of digital tools and their possible applications for teaching and learning. It will also assist faculty in making the leap to operationalizing that model within the context of the courses they teach, by highlighting how to identify instructional priorities and match digital tools with identified needs.


Brad Garner is the Director of Faculty Enrichment at Indiana Wesleyan University, USA. His greatest passion is helping faculty in the design and implementation of engaging, interactive learning experiences. As a frequent speaker at universities and conferences across North America and Europe, he brings a global perspective to the issue of technology use in higher education.

"Garner creates a high level map of the most popular digital tools used in research and teaching at a post-secondary level and creates a practical guide for anyone interested in bringing technology into their classroom or simply learning more about the ways in which they could benefit from using digital tools and resources. [...] [T]his volume is a great guide for faculty interested in embracing digital technology in their work, offering a review of digital tools available, the reasons why they are important in today’s Digital Era and practical ways of embedding them in post-secondary teaching."
