Abstract
Over the past decade at Dundee, we have implemented an alternative groupwork approach to assessed [practical] coursework. Here, YouTube video generation is used as a means to assess student understanding within a senior Physics module (Electromagnetism) and complete creative control of the undertaking is handled by the students alone. The concept has been a resounding success. A deeper knowledge of the course material is inferred (compared with previous course scores) but moreover, facilitating true team-working allows the students to develop communications skills, self-assess their natural position in teamwork, and enhance employability by showcasing their videos online.

| Other | The active participation of students in co-creating their learning experience can add value and insights to the student experience for staff, students and institutions, however authentic and inclusive co-creation is challenging. In this symposium we want to critically explore the role of all students as co-creators across all areas of their university experience. We invited students to identify the themes they considered important to discuss at the symposium to model co-creation and to hear this authentic critical voice. Based on these suggestions the themes of the symposium will include: The integration of co-creation as a continuous process within the student experience, with a particular focus on: Co-creation of principles, visions, policies, processes and systems at institutional, departmental or programme level. Co-creation to address structural or institutional biases and inclusion of underrepresented groups. Co-creation in academic governance and developing strategic policy. The benefits of co-creation for students, staff or institutions. The four students who submitted themes for the symposium have been invited to join the plenary session for a critical reflection on the challenges of co-creation. |
