Student perspectives on co-creation of learning resources and its benefits on learner development

Partnership between students and academics in designing learning experiences is shown to have a range of beneficial outcomes. This paper explores student perspectives about the desirability feasibility and the benefits of co- creation on learner development based on the findings from a mixed methods research study situated within an on-going project to develop and evaluate student co-created learning resources. Forty five students from health science disciplines completed a brief online survey consisting of 13 items relating to three domains about the desirability feasibility and the benefits of co-c creation with response options on a five point scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Additionally qualitative interviews were conducted with five students who took part in a co-creation project to develop an online learning resource. The findings indicate high levels of agreement from students about the desirability feasibility and the benefits of co-creation on learner development.
