ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on collaborative writing as a digital learning activity that helps to co-create an opportunity space together with students to reflect, write and create meaning beyond a course. At the core of the learning activity is a three-hour synchronous collaborative writing session, which is divided into three 40-minute writing sprints and discussions in between. With an emphasis on co-creation, dialogic pedagogy and strong democracy, the learning activity allows students and teachers to learn from and with each other by challenging everyone’s assumptions and ideas. Making the results of the collaborative writing activity publicly available by publishing the text as an opinion piece creates, in addition, an interesting opportunity for students to engage in disciplinary dialogues and contribute to public debates.
