Enabling a More Complete Education

Encouraging, Recognising and Valuing Life-Wide Learning in Higher Education 

April 13 and 14^th  2010, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, England

Value Proposition

Many Universities and colleges are recognizing that a more complete higher education pays attention to students’ development gained through informal learning in the many aspects of their lives that they choose to engage in outside their programme of study. We are calling this life-wide learning to symbolize the many parallel experiences that exist in a learner's life at any point in time. This wiki, and the conference it supports, provides a structure and an opportunity to share thinking, practices, policies and research to gain deeper understandings of the ways in which higher education is enabling students to benefit from and create for themselves a more complete educational experience that integrates formal learning within an academic programme and real world non-formal learning and experiences that students themselves determine
