Abstract

Three case studies, three years and three differing student-led methodologies. The common factor across all three case studies is that they are informed by student engagement and have a student-led focus. Research carried out by a team comprising of academics, support services and students explored the use of learning technologies in higher education with the aim of improving the learning experience for all. We share and explore our use of; students as co-researchers, open space technology, and students as partner methodologies to evaluate and understand the complex questions surrounding technology enhanced learning at one institution to create clear, understandable and actionable information that is negotiated between staff and students. In this paper we contrast the practicalities and lessons learned of each approach and share our developing understanding of student engagement for evaluation and educational development.
