ABSTRACT

Drawing on the example of the ‘Student as Producer’ project at the University of Lincoln, UK, this chapter explains how curriculum design is expected to be informed by a view of the student as an active contributor and collaborator to the knowledge creation process. The Centre for Educational Research and Development was created in 2007 to lead the University of Lincoln’s Teaching and Learning Strategy, run post-graduate courses for the study of education and practice of teaching, and support the academic use of technology across the university. The chapter discusses Student as Producer in the context of Deleuze and rhizomatic curriculum design. It looks at how the project is being applied to the development of an open institutional infrastructure, in which Computer Science students are redesigning and developing the tools used for research, teaching and learning.
