This session will present a workshop template for educators who are wanting to co-design with student-partners but who are unfamiliar with the workshop method. Co-design workshops are a familiar research design method that is characterised by the active engagement of a representative group who will be most affected by the design of a particular product, system or outcome. This characteristic makes workshops a valid method for eliciting student-centred ideas that can then be implemented and assessed in our educational practice. Aligning with this student-centred approach, the workshop template that is discussed and disseminated at this session was designed and implemented by Michelle Ly, student partner and 2nd year Design student, as part of the ‘Design Pedagogy in Practice’ strategic education grant project. Drawing on our project learnings to date, in addition to sharing the co-design workshop template we will provide insights into how the template can be adapted for interdisciplinary educational and research purposes.
