An empowering form of self-creation that puts everyone
in a position of celebrity

Regular, Timely Feedback is Important
Giving Feedback in the Context
of Practice Allows Students to
Apply Their Learning
Learners Learn from Each Other
Highlights
“There is a subtle, but extremely important, difference
between an institution that ‘listens’ to students and
responds accordingly, and an institution that gives
students the opportunity to explore areas that they believe
to be significant, to recommend solutions and to bring
about the required changes. The concept of ‘listening to
the student voice’ – implicitly if not deliberately – supports
the perspective of student as ‘consumer’, whereas
‘students as change agents’ explicitly supports a view of
the student as ‘active collaborator’ and ‘co-producer’, with
the potential for transformation.”
(Students as Change Agents, Dunne and Zandstra, 2011,
).

NUI Galway – Students as Producer
36
• NUI Galway needed a University app. • Who should own the app internally (marketing, library,
IT)?• No staff to build app
The Issue
• Gave students ownership of the app to build it • Also let students decide what should be in the app
Students as Change Agents
• Apps created and updated regularly for HTML5, iOS and Android without need for development skills

Hypothesis
Selfie’s are a symptom of the
desire to produce rather than
consume
Conclusion
We already have the
methods, knowledge and
technology to ride these
trends to greatly improve
education

forget. Show me and I
may remember. Involve
me, and I will
understand.”
