The curriculum needs to evolve to reflect the changing needs of students and employers (Smith, Killen and Knight, 2013). Furthermore, student engagement can be considered challenging for educators in a rapidly changing digital world (Kahu, 2013). The Higher Education Academy Framework (2014) and National Union of students (2014) both recommend that students and staff should be empowered to co-create learning materials. A project team (a lecturer, technology enhanced learning advisor and a student) was formed to develop learning materials for skills session on a level two module on an undergraduate Occupational Therapy Programme: these were splinting, vision impairment and wheelchair skills.
