At CARET, we're proud that the Learning Landscape Project has been highlighted in a recent report on widening participation in higher education, from the Von Hügel Institute at St Edmund’s College. Written by Michael Watts, David Bridges and Jonathan Eames, the report is titled “Widening Participation and Encounters with the Pedagogies of Higher Education” (2008), and was produced with funding from Aimhigher. Aimhigher is a national-level, government-funded education programme, run by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), with support from the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS).
The report seeks to highlight case studies and examples of good practice in pedagogy and support for student learning, in the context of improving access to higher education for all. The Learning Landscape Project was one of a range of pedagogic initiatives highlighted at Cambridge, with the Learning and Teaching Support Initiative and the Teaching for Learning network (TfLN) (two projects that we enjoy good relationships /connections with) also mentioned.
The report is available to read online at the Centre for Educational Research and Development at the Von Hügel Institute.
