This book has been primarily written for people who are interested
and involved in helping students maximise the learning and
development they gain from their higher education experience. The
authors contributing to this book hope that their attempt to
examine and give practical meaning to the idea of lifewideness
makes sense to you and helps you support and facilitate development
of people in your professional context. We hope also that it might
have meaning for you in your own life. The book is also written for
people who are helping higher education institutions develop a
better understanding of the ways in which students engage in and
are shaped by their whole life experience while they are studying.
And for those people who are trying to bring about change in
institutional practice, particularly those who are finding it
challenging, we hope the contributions in this book will reinforce
your conviction that this is a worthwhile thing to do. In recent
years, Universities in the UK have been encouraged to evaluate what
they do through the lens of the students' experience. This has
resulted in an increasing institutional interest and awareness in
the way in which students integrate higher education with their
life beyond the campus. Student Support Services in some
universities have been inspired by the visionary report 'Learning
Reconsidered: A Campus-wide Focus on the Student Experience' (NASPA
and ACPA 2004). We hope that this book will encourage and be of
value to those who make decisions or who create policies relating
to the student experience.
