The commonalities and possible distinctions between LD and EfS form a starting point for discussion, and raise the possibility that explicit identification of the links may encourage the development of new ideas and innovative practices. à Jennie WinterGraham BartonJoseph AllisonDebby CottonAssociation for Learning Development in Higher Education (ALDinHE)articleEducation for SustainabilityLearning DevelopmentTheory and practice of educationLB5-3640ENJournal of Learning Development in Higher Education, Iss 8 (2015)
