Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) is a revolutionary educational approach that seamlessly blends traditional learning modules with real-life challenges that demand innovative solutions and can be applied across various subjects. As the pioneering work in this field, The Emerald Handbook of Challenge-Based Learning provides an extensive exploration on how to conceive, design, implement, monitor, and develop CBL initiatives within Higher Education Institutions.

International experts delve into the application of CBL across diverse disciplines at the university level, presenting findings based on firsthand experiences of students. They offer practical examples of how CBL can be effectively implemented in different formats, from face-to-face to blended deliveries. Moreover, they provide strategies for implementing CBL in disciplines less familiar with CBL practices, such as accounting, finance, marketing, sustainability, food technology, biomedical sciences, and ICT.

The results from the implementations reported in the handbook suggest that CBL enhances students' understanding of real-life settings and fosters the development of 21st-century skills. In the context of the recent shift in education towards addressing real-life challenges, particularly in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, this handbook becomes an invaluable resource for researchers, course designers, teachers, and individuals interested in improving teaching methods and adopting new teaching styles within higher education.
