Special issue of the Brookes eJournal of Learning and Teaching
Guest editors: Jane Anderson, Christina Godiksen, Harriet Harriss.
This call for papers invites academics and students from any discipline and any institution to share pedagogical findings that concern the design, implementation and assessment of live projects. This special issue seeks to broaden debate and knowledge beyond disciplinary boundaries and to share established expertise.
“A live project comprises the negotiation of a brief, timescale, budget and product between an educational organisation and an external collaborator for their mutual benefit. The project must be structured to ensure that students gain learning that is relevant to their educational development.”
(Anderson and Priest, 2012)
Some examples of live project practices are collaborations with industry, design build projects, student-led community clinics, community-design centre or project office work, participatory fieldwork, pro-bono activities, participatory exchanges, temporary events and service learning.
