Students as Partners in Scholarship Framework

A key part of eSTEeM's work is the active involvement of students within scholarship, not only as research participants, but as members of project teams and in a consultative capacity for the centre. Most of our projects benefit significantly from very close involvement with students and we are always interested in linking up project teams with students who can bring their experience as learners to bear on the project design and execution.

To achieve this aim, we have developed a framework for engaging OU students as collaborators in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Engaging students in scholarship offers opportunities for student insights and expertise to inform teaching and learning. The diversity of OU students requires a tailored approach that considers each student’s circumstances as well as the research objectives of each project. Therefore, this framework provides a collection of activities, procedures and guidance, which can be applied and adapted as required. The framework has been developed over the last four years with contributions from a range of staff and students engaged in supporting SoTL.
