Editorial

Abstract

This latest edition of JLDHE provides further evidence of the extent to which learning development as a field of practice has evolved during more than a decade of scholarly and practical investigation which has established a firm evidence base for our work. Issue five in March 2013 reflected on 'Learning Development 10 years on', and the tenth anniversary conference held in Plymouth confirmed the sense of growing maturity within our community. As Stella Cottrell remarks in her guest editorial, the concept 'has come of age, or at least new ways of thinking are becoming established in the collective psyche'.
