Conclusions

In this chapter, we focus upon some of the key challenges that so often serve as obstacles to the kinds of meaningful teaching we think matter. The multiple issues considered are based on real challenges that we have each experienced and witnessed as teachers grappling with in contemporary higher education. These issues include: time and agency; feedback; student evaluation; teaching and learning spaces; student engagement; and Generative Artificial Intelligence. Building on the thinking throughout the book, we offer ideas for how readers might be able to develop modes and approaches of teaching that work for them in response to these key areas. In order to explore some of the different and multiple ways, we might respond to these challenges, in each section, we explore relevant approaches and ideas drawn from research and practice. Our ideas serve as prompts for further discussion, and we also invite readers to formulate their own responses.
