Abstract
Chapter 3 has introduced teaching pedagogies and learning strategies that promote and sustain the development of twenty-first century skills among students in the fields of the social sciences, humanities, and languages. It has also illustrated approaches used in collaborative teaching, inquiry-based learning (IBL), project-based learning (PjBL) as well as the use of social media tools such as wiki that are potentially conducive to student learning (e.g., Chu in Online Inf Rev 32(6):745–758, 2008; Notari in How to use a wiki in education: Wiki-based effective constructive learning, 2006; Tavares et al. in Experimenting with English collaborative writing on Google Sites, 2011; Woo et al. J Educ Technol Soc 14(1): 43–54, 2011).
