What is learning development?
All students should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and find enjoyment in learning.
Learning development in higher education is the practice of working alongside students to enable them to achieve their goals and reach their potential by teaching, demystifying, and challenging academic practices and conventions.
Learning development professionals are scholarly, research-informed practitioners who teach, facilitate, and provide support and advocacy for students.
