Curriculum co-creation : a transformative strategy to address differential student outcomes

While academics remain the principal gatekeepers of curricula in HE, there is a growing recognition of the role that students can play in its co-creation and how, in turn, this contributes to teaching excellence (McCulloch, 2009; Willis and Gregory, 2016). Through a ‘learning by doing’ approach, this participatory workshop considers the role that curriculum co-creation can play in creating more inclusive curricula which are relevant, meaningful and accessible to our increasingly diverse student body. Subsequently, it considers the place of co-creation as a transformative strategy which can contribute to addressing pervasive sector attainment gaps and differential student outcomes.
