Though I don’t think people would be resistant to the word co-creation, it is just that I think more people would recognise co-production. Might be a bit confusing to add another word into the mix!

This could then shape the learning. LC

I'd argue that if we were to take a fairly broad view of what collaboration means, there would be very little work in academia that is not, to some extent, collaborative.

For example, certain in arts subjects (e.g. Literature, which I'm most familiar with), researchers do a lot of work on their own and it's not very common to see a co-authored article. But, then, collected editions are very common - isn't this a form of collaboration? What about conferences where people come together to share ideas and discuss their research, is this a form of collaboration? When a researcher reads and responds to the existing literature in their field, could this be understood as a collaborative endeavour? - EK]]> 2020-11-16 09:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_c/zb8at456j8f146hd/wish/926368073
