Student Support
Case studies exploring IATL's work on supporting students.
Student Research at IATL
It has been our mission since the department was established in 2010 to support students in developing, progressing and succeeding as undergraduate researchers. Both our international research conference ICUR and our undergraduate research journal Reinvention emphasise co-creation, peer mentoring, training and support that enable students to enhance their skills and career prospects. IATL is also a partner in the British Conference of Undergraduate Research or BCUR. Read moreLink opens in a new window
IATL's Co-creation Project
The Co-creation Officer Project, running since 2019, employs a team of students from across the University as expert co-creators to support and advocate for co-creation between staff and students within IATL and Warwick more widely. Here you’ll find explorations of what it means to co-create in practice, the underpinning philosophy of co-creation, and you can meet our current co-creation officers and alumni.

Student Project Funding
Over the past 12 years, IATL has funded many projects which explore ways of fostering community and reimagining the future of learning at Warwick. Students and staff can apply for co-created projects up to the value of £10,000. Students can also apply for funding for research and performance projects of up to £1500 giving students, particularly undergraduates, the rare opportunity to conduct their own original research and/or initiate projects which inspire them. Here is an example of a student performance project that was recently funded by IATL. Read moreLink opens in a new window
Co-created Marking Scheme for Assessing Student Devised Assessments
IATL’s teaching and learning strategy involves a strong focus on student-centred learning to facilitate its diverse range of students within the community. This includes cultivating novel approaches towards developing, assessing and/or disseminating student research in which flexibility, choice and autonomy is highly encouraged. This case study outlines some innovative work undertake to co-create a marking scheme to be used to assess IATL's Student Devised Assessments (SDAs). Read moreLink opens in a new window
Interdisciplinary Assessment Methods
Interdisciplinary teaching and learning methods encourage students to combine learning from multiple disciplines to come up with new ways to think creatively about issues and solve problems. The assessment methods used should aim to empower students to let their creativity flow. IATL has explored a number of non-standard assessment methods to help facilitate this.
