The impact of co-creation
While research and practice centred around students and academics working together to co-create in the higher level sector has increased, co-creation in assessment remains relatively rare in a higher education context. It is acknowledged in the literature that deeper comprehension of content can be realised when students author their own questions and solutions, rather than just answering teacher-designed questions. However, to date, studies meas…
The impact of content co-creation on academic achievement
The literature acknowledges that deeper comprehension of content can be realised when students actively create their own learning materials. However, studies measuring the impact of students co-creating content on their academic performance are limited. Furthermore, there is a significant lacuna in our knowledge about the impact of learning styles on the efficacy of content co-creation. Situated within a constructivist learning paradigm, this stu…
Embracing qualitative research
The research ethics review systems within universities evolved from the positivist biomedical model but have expanded to include all non-clinical research involving human subjects. However, the application of the biomedical paradigm to qualitative research often creates significant problems. This article highlights the fundamental differences between biomedical and humanities and social science (HSS) research, illustrating that one size does not …
Gamification and student motivation
The literature suggests that gamified learning interventions may increase student engagement and enhance learning. We empirically investigate this by exploring the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on the participation and performance of over 100 undergraduate students in an online gamified learning intervention. The paper makes a number of contributions. First, by synthesizing the literature the central concepts required for a learnin…
The Role of Sister Cities’ Staff Exchanges in Developing “Learning Cities”
In the last half century former international adversaries have become cooperators through networking and knowledge sharing for decision making aimed at improving quality of life and sustainability; nowhere has this been more striking then at the urban level where such activity is seen as a key component in building "learning cities" through the development of social capital. Although mega-cities have been leaders in such efforts, mid-sized cities…
