Our expectations were very much challenged; the first workshop was on Subject Based research and Inquiry &#8211; which was incredibly mentally stimulating and exhausting. Much of the discussion was on very conceptual theories and the connotations associated with different definition and terminology, which helped us to develop clear ideas and collective agreement of partnership. When combined with the analysis of barriers and practical activities regarding the application of Students as Partners this became a very rewarding

and chemical ice cream<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Whilst in Hamilton, we are attending two workshops both of which are two days long. A striking outcome of the first workshop has been how different fields and disciplines tend to use the words in different ways, brining unique challenges when attempting to construct a universally appealing and successful course working with staff and students as partners. The conference has kept us well fed with Thai salad, rainbow chemical ice cream, cake, chia seeds, and copious amounts of strong coffee.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-289 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a rel='attachment' href='https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/2016-05-03-23-27-40\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/2016-05-03-23.27.40-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Sampling the cuisine\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/2016-05-03-23.27.40-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/2016-05-03-23.27.40-432x432.jpg 432w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/2016-05-03-23.27.40-268x268.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-278'>\n\t\t\t\tSampling the cuisine \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a rel='attachment' href='https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/13128922_10153659839278099_436013118_o\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/13128922_10153659839278099_436013118_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Conference Coffee!\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/13128922_10153659839278099_436013118_o-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/13128922_10153659839278099_436013118_o-432x432.jpg 432w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/13128922_10153659839278099_436013118_o-268x268.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-285'>\n\t\t\t\tConference Coffee!\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a rel='attachment' href='https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/sacaca-project\/2016\/05\/miitel-summer-institute-toronto-canada\/attachment\/zakrakrouki\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/zakrakrouki-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/zakrakrouki-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/zakrakrouki-432x432.jpg 432w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/bscbusinessmanagement\/files\/2016\/05\/zakrakrouki-268x268.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-297'>\n\t\t\t\tBBC Good Food Magazine Cover\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Co-Creation in\u2026 Britain???<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We have already learnt so much about students as partners and the potential future of higher education. It is somewhat gratifying to realise that the University of Southampton is close to the cutting edge of learning partnership and course co-design, where we combine many facets such as students as creators and change agents and &#8216;Student Created Learning\u2019 (the topic of our next conference in July). There are many ideas that we aim to expand on given our newly acquired knowledge from the workshop &#8211; enabling the curriculum and undergraduate business programmes to not only be more applicable to the business world in developing key skills, but also for making it more enjoyable and engaging for everyone. We are excited to bring back new developments and ideas to the UK (although after attending a British pub quiz last night we are not too sure we have actually left Britain)!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zfYBQEArvxw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Here is a little message from over the pond!<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our time in Canada so far has been particularly eventful, meeting many new people and exploring entirely different cultures.
