Apologies for multiple postings Dear colleagues I attach a link to the latest issue of Lifewide Magazine <http://www.lifewidemagazine.co.uk/> http://www.lifewidemagazine.co.uk/ which examines the idea of learning ecologies and its link to lifewide learning, education and personal development. We believe that this is an important topic that is rarely addressed and we hope that you will find the articles interesting, useful and enjoyable. To accompany the Magazine we are publishing two new chapters in our e-book exploring the idea of learning ecologies <http://www.lifewideebook.co.uk/index.html> http://www.lifewideebook.co.uk/index.html . The first of these 'The Concept of Learning Ecologies' has now been published. I would also like to draw your attention to Lifewide Education's first conference.

An individual's learning ecology comprises their contexts, processes, relationships and interactions that provides opportunities and resources for learning, development and achievement. Knowing how to create and sustain a learning ecology is an essential part of 'knowing how to learn' in all the different contexts that comprise an individual's life. Learning ecologies are therefore of significant conceptual and practical value to the theory and practice of lifewide learning and education. Contributors include: Professor Ronald Barnett, Maret Staron, Peter Rawsthorne and KnowledgeWorks a US-based organisation, and lively and informative contributions from several students and recent graduates. The Magazine is produced by the Lifewide Education community <http://lifewideeducation.co.uk/> http://lifewideeducation.co.uk/ and it is free to download from <http://www.lifewidemagazine.co.uk/> http://www.lifewidemagazine.co.uk/
