Abstract
Agile PBL, within an agile PBL ecology for learning, is about humanising higher education through imaginative approaches to student learning, to teaching, to curriculum, to assessment, to faculty development, to interdisciplinary approaches that go well beyond the institutional walls, to student development and support, to curriculum sustainability, to research and the scholarship of teaching and learning, and to administration and leadership. This is in a nutshell what this book has been about, and these are out concluding comments. The recurring theme in the quote by Whitehead (Whitehead, A. N, The aims of education and other essays. New York: Free Press (first published by Macmillan in 1929)) (1967) that opens this concluding chapter is imagination, and this is not coincidently also the underlying ‘dreaming’ about an agile PBL ecology for learning, or the imaging of a ‘feasible utopia’.
