This paper describes the foundational principles and design details of the student-staff partnership initiative launched by the Co-creating Inclusive and Equitable Teaching & Learning project, led by Dr. Anna Santucci and situated within the Centre for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) at University College Cork (UCC).
Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
The paper provides project design and implementation details that can be replicated and adapted to fit other institutional contexts. The authors intentionally provide reflective guidance so that the readers may ask related core questions in adapting and adopting the proposed model to fit their own contexts and students. Grounded in international literature, this project based at UCC builds upon and contributes to the important emergent field of research and practice about Students as Parters and Pedagogical Partnerships, with a specific focus on inclusion of student voices and perspectives traditionally minoritized in higher education. This resource outlines how to thoughtfully design professional development and curriculum enhancement programs that encourage direct engagement and authentic dialogue between teachers and students, platforming in particular the voices and perspectives of traditionally minoritized students.

This case study outlines a first-year intervention at SETU Waterford using a timetabled weekly session to tackle common causes of academic failure such as time management, assessment planning. and study skills. It is intended for programme teams seeking practical, low-resource approaches to improving student progression and retention.
This OER guides students through human-in-the-loop software development, demonstrating how AI tools can be effectively supervised, refined, and integrated across the Software Lifecycle. Designed for computing educators and learners, it combines agile practice, teamwork, DISC awareness, testing, and critical reflection on human–AI collaboration.
This OER introduces students to designing and developing AI-powered assistants for agile software development using Flowise (no code). Learners as a team explore Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and agent-based systems, applying AI to real-world agile practices while considering technical design, evaluation, and cost-aware decision-making
Through a thought-and-action mapping strategy known as interactive management, the current research modelled a unique, collaborative "pathway of impact influences" to describe such considerations from the perspectives of TUS higher management and external stakeholders.
