Alternative forms of teaching and learning are generally geared toward increasing students’ enthusiasm and capacity for absorbing the material. The University of Nebraska Medical Center thinks it’s found a way to further that goal: directly involving students in the creation of learning materials. The institution’s E-Learning Program pairs students interested in creating online modules with faculty mentors and instructional designers who guide them through the process. A faculty-only stab at the initiative began in 2013, but eventually it refocused on students, putting them in control of material that ends up in their courses and online as constantly available resources.
