Co-create with Me! Inviting Students to Collaborate and Innovate
1:00-2:00 PM
Presenter: Angela Lanier

Whether hard copy or digital, the textbook has long been a primary resource for teaching and learning in higher education. Recent movements toward Open Pedagogy and Decolonizing the Curriculum challenge educators to think differently about the role of the textbook and identify alternatives that value students’ voices, experiences, and contributions to the curriculum and assessment. This workshop will define what it means to have students co-create, give examples of what that looks like in practice, and highlight the benefit for both students and others.
