Introduction

Puna Aurei / LearnFest is an annual symposium focusing on innovation in tertiary education. It transitioned online during the pandemic, broadening its global reach and leading to a partnership with Cardiff University. The 2022 theme, Revitalisation, addressed the rejuvenation of higher education, teaching practices, and specific disciplines. The contributions in this volume are organised into four themes: Key Challenges, exploring professional identities and curriculum indigenization; Motivation, examining learner and teacher engagement; Gamification, discussing educational games and pedagogies; Confronting Climate Change, tackling its educational impact; and Revitalising English Medium Instruction, exploring responses to disruptions in international education.
