Feedback from Student Participants Examples of Positive Feedback:• ”…enabling unprecedented engagement in one's course…”• “…never have known of the impending challenges higher education has if not for the group…”• “…provides a platform built upon the ethos of truly improving everyone's experience implemented by those within the current education system, not by those who are, in any way, detached from it…”

Challenges we face:• Logistical and timetabling concerns• Governance of the group• Support internally for staff and for students• External Reception for Students
The Future
• Continue to increase student engagement through innovative methods• Continue to increase student’s Digital Literacy• To build Social Media as a key component of the emerging enterprise
angle• Foster connections between Students and Staff, by making both more
digitally literate • To reform assessment and feedback practice with student input• To collect more feedback on all elements of the project• To help spread awareness of the power of Co-Designed Learning
Identified benefits• Greater engagement with learning through enhanced autonomy, self-
direction, authenticity and learner-centredness. • Deep learning as a result of social learning pedagogies which
encourage students to read, comment and reflect on the work of peers; or present their work to peers and at conferences.• Employability benefits in terms of presentation skills, communication
skills, project management skills, networking skills.
More benefits…• Enhanced digital literacies in building professional digital networks
through effective use of digital affordances and services (blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn) • Enhancing student awareness of the appropriate use of language and
style in communications with wider cohorts/groups (both online and offline)• A sense of self as part of a wider world, as a member of international
communities, and increased knowledge of career possibilities
