Abstract / Description of output

Co-created curriculum is the practice of students and staff sharing decision-making about curriculum. Practice and research in this area has grown over the last 10 years, and has moved from what was a niche activity, to become a popular and increasingly well-evidenced approach to curriculum design and teaching. In this chapter, I outline conceptualisations of co-created curriculum, theoretical frameworks used for exploring and understanding curriculum, and international examples of co-created curriculum. I highlight benefits and challenges of co-created curriculum before asking whether, given the growing evidence base for the benefits of co-creation, we should be offering opportunities for all students in higher education to experience co-creation.
