Special Edition: Academic Peer Learning
Peer Learning in Higher Education has seen significant growth in the UK and internationally over the last decade and there have been many innovative developments of models that use higher year peers to support the academic and personal development of lower year students. These are variously referred to as PAL (Peer Assisted Learning), PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) and SI (Supplemental Instruction).
This JLDHE special edition presents an opportunity to showcase models of academic peer learning and to publish research, evolving innovative practice, case studies and proposed new methods and models.

Special Edition: Digital Technologies in Learning Development
Digital technologies are pervasive in every aspect of Higher Education, and though their use is undoubtedly common in learning development activities, this field is underreported as an area of expertise.This Special Edition of the JLDHE focuses on ways in which digital technologies are used in the work of learning developers, academic teaching staff or other practitioners seeking to improve student learning. This focus has been chosen because of the large number of technology-related submissions we receive. -

Special Edition: Researching and Evaluating Personal Development Planning and e-Portfolio Practice
The introduction of student Personal Development Planning (PDP) was the first attempt in UK Higher Education to implement a particular framework for enhancing and capturing student learning by sector wide agreement. In order to maintain and enhance practice in ways which ensure maximum efficacy, it is now essential to deepen our understanding of its impact on the student learning experience. National Action Research Network on Researching and Evaluating Personal Development Planning and e-Portfolio Practice is managed by Sue Burkinshaw (University of Bolton), Dr John Peters, (NTF 2001), University of Worcester, and Rob Ward, Director of Centre for Recording Achievement (CRA) drawing on the expertise and network power of the CRA. The project brings together those at the forefront of PDP implementation across the Higher Education Sector. It directly engages practitioners from 16 HEIs to develop and build capacity for the robust research and evaluation of PDP for students in HE.
