A successful learner is one who is able to find connections between formal and informal knowledge, and build pathways to life-long learning. The time and energy students spend on furthering their knowledge through educationally based experiences is the best indicator of their ability to succeed in their academic and personal goals. Engagement and success is also strengthened when institutional resources and values are directed to enriching the educational experience of students.
A core priority for the University Strategic Plan (2010- 2012) is to 'Transform student lives through learning' . While the curriculum gets a re-shape through Design for Learning, the Student Enrichment team is focussed on building and maximising the informal learning experiences of La Trobe University students.
