In this episode of the Teaching Matters Podcast, we explore how co-creation helped academic staff navigate the move to hybrid teaching and learning. Student-staff co-creation involves shared decision-making and negotiation of curriculum design or elements of the curriculum. You can watch extended conversations with the contributors on the Edinburgh Hybrid Teaching Exchange and linked below and discover more about co-creation on the Teaching Matters blog.
You can subscribe to the Teaching Matters Podcast on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
