4. Students as change agents- why do it?
‘In order for universities and colleges to foster more inclusive learning
environments, we believe that students must be empowered as
active and participatory agents, not as mere consumers, so that they
can articulate their own conceptions of what makes good learning
environments, and work in partnership with academics and
administrators to realise these conceptions.’

5. Role of students as change agents
» Student ‘change agents’ are students who work with staff to lead, support or
develop change within an institution
» The 2014 UCISA Digital capabilities survey reports that 30% of respondents are
working with students as change agents with another 46% of respondents
‘working towards’ this.
» Different ways change agents can work from leading their own change to
supporting a defined project or taking part in institutional processes such as
recruitment and teaching practice observations

ambassadors, student partners, student researchers, co-designers, co-

6. Working in partnership
»“Partnership is fundamentally about a relationship in which all
involved – students, academics, professional services staff, senior
managers, students’ unions and so on – are actively engaged in and
stand to gain from the process of learning and working together.
Partnership is essentially a process of engagement, not a product. It
is a way of doing things, rather than an outcome in itself.”

7. Benefits of working in partnership
» Gain an experience of leadership and influencing change
» Gain experience of using research to shape change
» Students can gain recognition through awards such as leadership awards,
academic credit, extra-curricular awards and awards accredited through external
bodies
» Increases confidence and skills (e.g. communication, team-working,
management, research skills)
» Enhances networking with e.g. employers, community
» Improved employability and job prospects

11. Our Partnership Projects
The University of Greenwich runs two main student
partnership projects, via the EDU:
• TESTA@Greenwich
• Greenwich Graduate
Student Network
12. Some existing models
Cascaded Model
Students in various
partnership roles within
and across an institution
empowered to build,
foster and promote
networks that focus on
developing student
confidence and
transformation through
innovation activity
Feedback

Students running student feedback
questionnaire systems and interpreting
existing performance indicators such as
NSS scores
Students acting as evaluators or
educational researchers, exploring in
more detail issues educational, raised

15. TESTA@Greenwich What is it?
• Programme-level feedback and analysis toolkit
• Uses qualitative and quantitative data
• Gathers data from both staff and students
• Used to feed into programme review and evaluation
16. Example of direct student input having an effect on programmes:
Programme Leader BA Media and Communication:
“The variety of feedback, the verbal feedback the discussion in
tutorial[s], we’ve put in a lot more of that as a response to theTESTA
[process] – it’s subject to conversation...rather than retrospective after
somebody’s handed in an assessment.”
TESTA – Progress and Impact
• 23 Programmes
• Over 2700 blog views, 380 Youtube views
17. GGSN – What is it?
• A student-led network
• A student-led, institution-wide, cultural
transformation
• To support the development of the Greenwich
Graduate Attributes
18. GGSN – Progress and Impact
• Over 8000 blog views
• Over 700 likes/followers on Facebook page
• Regular reach of 50-100 per post
Claire Clarke, UoG Equality and Diversity Manager on attendingCulturosity:
“This displayed our strong commitment to equality and diversity and enhances
the cross working relationship between staff and students.”

Working in partnership with students facilitates much more than effective engagement of students in the development of their digital environment. It can also prompt and support staff to develop their own digital capabilities and enhance their practice.
There is growing evidence that this approach is enabling providers and universities to deliver more effective student engagement activities and to engage their students in active dialogue about the digital aspects of their learning experiences as well as to explore the role of technology in supporting students’ studies and in preparing them for employment.
