LEARNING LIVES CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

Lifewide Learning & Education in Universities and Colleges

Lifewide Education's Learning Lives conference was held in March 2014. Its purpose was to recognise and celebrate the many different ways in which universities and colleges are encouraging, supporting and recognising learning, personal development and achievement gained outside as well as inside the academic curriculum. The  book contains thirteen descriptive accounts of institutional schemes and other approaches to support and recognise learners' lifewide learning and personal development, together with a small number of research and evaluation studies aimed at understanding how students are learning and developing through their lifewide experiences.
