CREATING BETTER CONDITIONS FOR LEARNING

HE by Design led by Dr Carmen Miles, brings together research, experience and educational practice to help universities make thoughtful decisions about change.

The focus is on making strategy useful in practice, shaping learning, programmes and institutional approaches in ways that are coherent, grounded and workable.

The aim is simple: create better conditions for learning.

CREATING BETTER CONDITIONS FOR LEARNING

Learning is shaped by more than curriculum alone. It emerges through the interaction of teaching, programme design, institutional systems and the wider contexts surrounding higher education.

The Conditions for Learning Framework examines these connections rather than addressing each challenge in isolation. Grounded in research and developed through practice, it uses generative, strengths-based inquiry to create better conditions in which students and staff can learn, teach and flourish.
