8. Importance of working in partnership
‘In order for universities to foster more inclusive learning environments, we
believe that students must be empowered as active and participatory agents,
not as mere consumers, so that they can articulate their own conceptions of
what makes good learning environments, and work in partnership with
academics and administrators to realise these conceptions.’

and learning
