Learning Development Centre

Learning Development at City University London means supporting staff and learners to create new and responsive learning opportunities. It encompasses academic practice, educational development and technology enhanced learning.

Our vision for learning development is centered on three inter-related principles:

Partnership - learning is conversation. Learning development is about dialogue and understanding. In the LDC, we work with Schools and other services as partners, advising them on how to enhance the learner experience.

Play - learning is fun. By 'play' we mean that learning should be fun for all. We encourage supported and managed experimentation with different techniques and tools for learning.

Practice - learning is development. Learning needs to be applied and embedded in practice. We need to be able to measure and benchmark our achievements, be honest about the challenges and realistic about resources required to support learning development activities.

Our vision is to support the creation of a learning organisation where learning and teaching is respected and valued; where staff and learners engage in dialogue about how to create innovative and quality learning opportunities.
