Abstract
In this introduction, we provide a short background to RRU, a brief overview
of the RRU Learning and Teaching Model, and an introduction to the
chapters included in the book.
Description
Engaging Students in Life-Changing Learning: Royal Roads University’s Learning
and Teaching Model in Practice presents examples illustrating how an
institutional education model at Royal Roads University (RRU) is applied
in practice. While numerous institutions across the globe are currently
developing institutional models to improve student outcomes, experiences,
and success, scholars have long lamented mismatches between theory and
practice. In this book, we provide opportunities for faculty members and
staff to describe their experiences with the Royal Roads University
framework—the RRU Learning and Teaching Model–and illustrate how they
use this model in their learning design and teaching. By engaging in this
process, we hoped to learn from one another and become better
practitioners, but also to enable peers at other institutions to explore how
RRU practises education.
