Editorial Reviews

Review 
There is nothing like a great question to send you on a rich and meaningful quest for learning. A great question forces us to challenge our most taken for granted beliefs and threatens to uproot our most deeply rooted habits.Who owns the learning? is one of those great questions. When I first allowed myself to ask the question, and really sit with it for a while, I soon found myself questioning everything in my teaching practice. Fortunately, November offers inspiring stories along with practical advice to help us on the journey forward, while leaving enough space to make each of our journeys our very own. --Michael Wesch, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas

Fantastic! Captivating from the start, this book will change the way one thinks about the process of learning. The many examples help provide explicit guidance on how to move from a teacher-centered to a learner-centered approach. --Eric Mazur, Area Dean of Applied Physics, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts

If you think you know what problem-based learning is, or if you've ever wondered what formative assessment actually looks like in a digital world, Who Owns the Learning? is your first port of call: the first step in providing real meaning to the learning of your students. --Ewan McIntosh, Founder and CEO, NoTosh (UK) Learning | Digital | Design Thinking, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
