Abstract

‍‍‍

In this iEarth-funded project, students and staff collectively revised the first year geoscience course GEO1110 at Oslo University. The development work took place in the semester leading up to, and during the time the course was given. Of the five students in the development group, two were also students in the course. The latter two took on the added responsibility as course representatives; this allowed for immediate changes of the course in response to student feedback. The course development had strong positive influence on course evaluations. Students and staff who participated in the course development also report positive outcomes. Our experience strongly supports student and staff co-creation for course development. It also highlights positive self-efficacy, metacognitive and motivational effects of co-creation.
