The use of museum collections as a path to learning for university students is fast becoming a new pedagogy for higher education. Despite a strong tradition of using lectures as a way of delivering the curriculum; the positive benefits of rsquo;activersquo; and rsquo;experiential learningrsquo; are being recognised in universities at both a strategic level and in daily teaching practice. As museum artefacts; specimens and art works are used to evoke; provoke; and challenge studentsrsquo; engagement with their subject; so transformational learning can take place. This unique book presents the first comprehensive exploration of rsquo;object-based learningrsquo; as a pedagogy for higher education in a broad context. An international group of authors offer a spectrum of approaches at work in higher education today. They explore contemporary principles and practice of object-based learning in higher education; demonstrating the value of using collections in this context and considering the relationship between academic discipline and object-based learning as a teaching strategy.
