• Sommario/riassunto: Higher education institutions play an important role as leaders in knowledge creation and dissemination by setting the grounds for society to advance and to improve welfare. Despite the long-standing tradition of some higher education systems, Higher Education continuously evolves to adapt to the challenges that current societies open up to. The objective of this book is to capture some recent advances made in Higher Education by addressing these challenges. To do so, some specific topics related to the inputs, outputs and process of education in Higher Education were selected to be analysed by a scientific research approach. The book is arranged in five parts in accordance with these topics. Part I is related to the most important input of higher education institutions, that is, students, and particularly to address students' preparation when they access higher education studies. The next three parts of the book analyse different aspects of the learning process that take place in Higher Education. Part II assesses student learning from different points of view. Part III contains two chapters on the creation and availability of resources in higher education institutions. Part IV describes and analyses some innovative teaching and learning methods. Finally, Part V consists of three chapters that deal with the relation of Higher Education with industry, which is the main destination of graduates.
