| Abstract: | Twenty-five years ago, the Sage journal Active Learning in Higher Education was founded as an essential part of the offer to members of the newly formed, UK Institute for Learning in Higher Education. This article provides a personal perspective of how the journal, its originating organisation, journal publishing and the whole field of higher education assessment, teaching and learning have changed over this time. While maintaining its focus on fostering and sharing good practice in active learning at university and college level, on international perspectives and a commitment to equality and diversity, the journal has broadened its scope and reach. Looking forward, the article considers how capturing and enhancing student engagement continue to be central preoccupations of the higher education context. |
