Chapter 7: Co-Creating Learning Experiences with Students as Partners: Reflecting on Achievements Using the 4M (Micro, Meso, Macro and Mega) Framework

This chapter is a reflective case study recording the outcomes (what the students gained) and the outputs (co-created resources) of a Students as Partners (SaP) initiative which began by the students looking at how social media could be used in learning and teaching within their own course. Initially set up as an extracurricular short-term project, it continued and evolved over four years creating a framework and collection of open access resources. Adopting the 4M framework reflections on the students’ achievements are considered using the following lenses: micro (individual); meso (departmental); macro (institutional) and mega (broader [higher] education community). Suggestions on how this project could be adapted and implemented by others are given.
