Today’s tutorial summary + thoughts
My research question needs to be redefined:
– Is it about evaluating the project itself? (No) Then:
‘How do you evaluate collaborative projects?’
– Is it on collaborative practice itself (Yes) Then:
Given students experience of a collaborative project, what does this experience contribute to students’ development of the curriculum?
- Then questions can go in the direction of:
- What skills did this project give you?
- How did it affect you in your creative practice?
- How did it affect you in your life?
- Has this project improved your enjoyment of collaborating / working together?
‘Reflecting on reflecting’: ways of producing and reading information: style, tone, how is it influenced by where it’s written (infrastructure of digital spaces)
How do you want to design the feedback? Are all these data sets equally important?
- Individually or in groups
- Before, during, after event?
How will I use the information?
Is it about co-production? Students becoming co-producers (as opposed to co-creators)
Empowering students to co-produce, but not falling into trap of pretending that change is welcomed but then it isn’t (giving up power structures for personal reasons or educational requirements)

Focus Group
Rather than questionnaire, maybe a huge sheet of paper, a miro page – ‘a tapestry’, ‘weaving’, ‘collaging’
