‘What are policy-makers and educators to do in our runaway world where students, technologies, skills, knowledge, mobilities and expectations are all changing fast? With its emphasis on teaching and learning, this book provides a unique contribution to the field. Pierre Benckendorff and Anita Zehrer have assembled a fine collection of contributions that help us to frame, understand and respond to the key issues. What’s more, they conclude the book with an excellent summary of the main themes and implications for policy and practice.’
