Freedom to learn: a radically revised pedagogy to facilitate lifewide learning in the academic curriculum. (2011)
Book Chapter
Cowan, J. (2011). Freedom to learn: a radically revised pedagogy to facilitate lifewide learning in the academic curriculum. In N. J. Jackson (Ed.), Learning for a Complex World (122-136). Authorhouse™

Higher education has progressed fairly steadily to a common pedagogical approach which centres on the idea of alignment. In this arrangement, intended learning outcomes are identified and declared; learning activities which will enable the desired le...
