Exploring Heutagogy In Higher Education by Amnon Glassner, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book explores heutagogy (self-determined learning) - a new approach to teaching and learning in higher education - and proposes a paradigm shift in teaching, learning, and the educational enterprise and ecosystem.
