The Transformative Potential of Faculty-Student Collaboration: A Case Study From the SaP Program
Channel: Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology, University of British Columbia
Date: 2022-12-15

In this workshop, a Students as Partners (SaP) team will present their work in collaboratively redesigning a 3rd year Arts course (MES 300). The team will subsequently lead an open discussion on how to co-create and administer a successful SaP course redesign project, focusing on the opportunities and challenges inherent to SaP projects, lessons learned, the ways in which SaP approaches can improve student engagement, and the potential of SaP work to transform academic work, life and relationships for faculty and students. Ultimately, the team will make a case for expanding opportunities for SaP work at UBC, especially as pertains to course creation and revision.
