Description	Blog post #LTHEchat 324: Co-creation: unlocking the full potential of students as co-creators of projects in Higher Education Posted on March 24, 2025 by lthechatteam Led by Dr Gustavo Espinoza-Ramos tavoer8.bsky.social and Dr Scott Turner @scottturnercccu.bsky.social Higher education institutions have undergone significant transformations due to external pressures, including macroeconomic factors, inclusivity and equity, technology developments, and regulation. These external pressures have caused HE institutions to rethink their organisational structures, policies, research, and teaching and learning practices to meet stakeholders’ needs. One of the growing creative initiatives is through the collaboration between students and staff members, which is crucial for creating dynamic and responsive educational environments and enhancing the student learning experience.
