Higher Education Teaching and Learning Methods

We wish to draw the attention to the importance of responsible management education in Business Schools/Universities. In order to do this, we need information on whether universities incorporate strategies/practices that enable them to meet the demands for future education.

By answering this questionnaire you will help us to collect best/worst practice examples from various universities, as well as giving us an insight in what you believe is important for future education. These best/worst practices are necessary to build up a collection of ideas on how studying at universities should be in the future, and generate the best results for students, in terms of personal development, skills required in the job market, and the society and environment in general.
