Review Quotes:
"This book is a wonderful, timely collection of much-needed design studio cases. These personal cases bring extraordinary insights and experiences and provide an amazing resource for anyone engaged in design teaching." -Erik Stolterman, Professor and Chair, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA
"The design cases in 'Studio Teaching in Higher Education' provide both seasoned and aspiring studio instructors with deep insights into the epistemology underlying a design studio approach, as well as specific examples of its implementation in a variety of disciplinary domains and instructional contexts. As a whole, the text showcases the value of using the studio method to prepare design professionals and illustrates how learning by doing, in authentic contexts, can result in transformative experiences for faculty and students alike." - Peggy A. Ertmer, Professor of Learning Design and Technology at the College of Education, Purdue University, USA, and Founding Editor of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning (IJPBL)
"This is an excellent book: everyone even vaguely interested in art, design, creativity, expertise and learning should read it. All the important aspects of studio get a good mention . . . Importantly, the issues are raised and analysed by way of example and reflection on actual events, failures and re-workings feature as much as successes and triumphs. In that sense, it is an inspirational collection of tales." -Australian Universities Review
