Abstract

At the University of Lincoln, the student as producer agenda is seeking to disrupt consumer-based learning
relationships by reinventing the undergraduate curriculum along the lines of research-engaged teaching. The
open education movement, with its emphasis on creative commons and collaborative working practices, also
disrupts traditional and formal campus-based education. This presentation looks at the linkages between the
Student as Producer project and the processes of embedding open educational practice at Lincoln. Both
reinforce the need for digital scholarship and the prerequisite digital literacies that are essential for learning
in a digital age.

This presentation aligns with the theme 'Students as producers of the world they will live in: social justice
and social enterprise' whereby digital scholarship in embedded in principles of social inclusion.
