Comments and responses

Student as Producer
Our vision of higher education is enshrined within the concept of Student as
Producer, which redefines the traditional view of a student from a consumer
of knowledge to a creator and interpreter of knowledge. Student as Producer
defines our institutional approach to research engaged teaching and learning,
which consists of meaningful collaboration between staff and students in
programme design, content and delivery. Student as Producer prizes the
outputs of student research as a valued activity within an inclusive academic
community.
The following are examples of the types of opportunities that promote our
concept of research engaged teaching and learning:

Working with staff as part of the design, development and

enhancement of your programme
Get involved in subject-specific research techniques and projects
Learning environments (virtual or physical) which encourage
collaborative activities and enhance the student learning experience
Opportunities for students to disseminate research outputs both
internal and external to the institution

Insert examples of how this will be incorporated in the delivery and content of
this module.
Employer links and engagement with industry
This section should be used to provide students with information that outlines
(where appropriate) how industry has contributed to the module in terms of
the project/assessment design and relevance to industry.
