Abstract

<p>Higher education institutions continue to negotiate effective ways to embrace creative and engaging on-line learning pedagogies, so students can enjoy academic success. We continue to report many of the findings from on-going research into the effectiveness and impact these changes have made to student learning. Recognising the strength of academia and the challenges that plague access to a range of reliable resources, we need to ensure that policy-makers and educators alike continue to review best practices in order to provide the innovative delivery of pedagogical excellence. Higher education institutions are at the very nexus of career-focussed education as students seek qualifications to contribute positively to their community. We are proud to present this issue with contributions and perspectives from the Netherlands, the USA, Nepal, Uganda, Belgium and Slovakia. This issue has a strong focus on learner pedagogy, technology to enhance student engagement, and digital leadership adaptations. Research in these areas provide interesting and informative reading on how global educators continue with their core business of delivering relevant and meaningful education to their students. </p>
