Students no longer have a linear approach to education and increasingly their expectations are that there will be flexibility and support embedded in their courses. Consequently institutions need to have a holistic approach to enhancing student learning. The significance of the total learning environment - academic, physical, virtual, support - to the student experience is emerging; however, there has been little study of the impact of the new learning environments on student learning behaviours, in particular on support for learners. Nonetheless, in practice, academic services - libraries, keys skills teams, student support, IT and academics - are working innovatively across service boundaries to bring about transformations in their students' lives. This edited collection from a team of international contributors plots these developments and uses carefully selected case studies to highlight global best practice in universities and colleges. The book is divided into three parts covering transformation through strategy, policy and organization; delivery; and integrative practice. Key areas covered are:  * the changing profile of learners * the redesign of learning support * engaging learners by reshaping learning environments * next-generation learning spaces * the integration of physical and virtual environments * engagement in widening participation * learning partnerships * learning using research-informed approaches aligned to pedagogy. Readership: This timely book will act as a strategic planning tool by uncovering models that will allow practitioners to reflect on their own organizational contexts. It will also help to raise the profile of learning support within institutions by keeping library managers, student service managers, academics and organizational leaders up to date with policy and developments; and, by interfacing with the global skills agenda, will be of interest to a wide range of staff including support professionals, educators and stakeholders. With its bite size chunks of information showing the diversity of the LIS sector and its opportunities for career development, it will also be a helpful text for students.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49645471432977,"sku":"GOR010432715","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50776203624721,"sku":"GOR009382994","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1856046443.jpg?v=1751155069"},{"product_id":"accounting-book-margaret-weaver-9780750632607","title":"Accounting","description":"This text has been revised and updated to include the latest developments in accountancy practice.
