“…However, while co-creation is a way to bridge such a gap, we are constantly struggling to balance our students' needs and wants for the system with our own understanding of what they should take away when using the system. For example, while some of them might only want to participate and complete the course with minimal effort, our desire as educators is to encourage them to learn how to critique a design and give productive and helpful feedback [33]. One of our main challenges is to find compromises that include both perspectives, sometimes relinquishing designs and ideas about learning that we hold dear, at other times overruling students' inputs and upholding what we find pedagogically necessary for their education.…”

“…Each year we conduct a survey to learn about our students' needs for and experiences with the learning environment, the course design, and the organisational structure in general. Results from such surveys have already been published in conferences and journals [32,33]. The surveys largely consist of open ended questions about the system, and often have a focus section on whichever module was recently redesigned.…”

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is a promising solution for higher education settings by creating a collaborative, engaging learning experience despite high student numbers and a lack of individual feedback and support. When creating such TEL environments to fit a particular local context, co-creation methods provide a way for all stakeholders to meaningfully address and design for their own needs. In our specific university context, we are working on supporting different forms of learning within large, face-to-face university lectures. Our goal is to create a learning environment for students to learn and evolve in a self-directed and collaborative manner, using a mixture of traditional lectures and online learning activities. Throughout the creation of this innovative TEL environment, we made a point of inviting students to participate in the design and development process. We introduced multiple modes of co-creation for students to reflect on the current system, create prototypes and redesigns, and even practically implement new ideas and solutions. In this paper we reflect on these different modes of co-creation and discuss their impact on various design spaces within this project - the learning design, the learning content and the learning platform. Our findings point to the necessity of using multiple modes of co-creation simultaneously to get a better picture of the complex educational context and interconnections between design spaces.
