How to Be a Learning Developer in Higher Education
Critical Perspectives, Community and Practice
About This Book
Filled with practical guidance for those working in and interested in the emergent field of Learning Development, this must-read book encapsulates what it means to be a Learning Developer and how to thrive in this role.
With carefully constructed contributions which explore different aspects of the role, this edited collection is comprehensive in its approach. Alongside practical advice, it is underpinned by theoretical and epistemological insights to provide a bridge between theory and practice.
Organised into five key parts, it is arranged in a way that reflects the journey that practitioners take into and through Learning Development, from their initiation into the field, through professional development, to becoming an established expert. It covers key topics such as:
- the basic principles of working in Learning Development
- the theoretical and practical foundations of the field
- how to engage more critically with the role
- how to become an active contributor to the field through research and publication
- the as-yet unrealised possibilities of Learning Development
Capturing a diverse array of voices, experiences, and perspectives, this book is an essential guide for both new and established practitioners concerned with student Learning and Development.
