I'm excited to be taking on a secondment role with the University's Student Engagement, Evaluation and Research (STEER) team and am building up my reading list!
Dear Jill,
Congratulations for your new role!
I would strongly recommend you to look at 'Students as Partners' https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/resources/students-as-partners/
You may also want to read the work of Cook-Sather, Kelly Mathews, Amrita Kaur, Mercer-Mapstone etc. for more information. It is an exciting practice which is rapidly gaining ground. If you want more information or have questions, please feel free to get in touch.
In this paper is presented how to establish a working system for the achievement of scientific results that characterize a university.

The structuring of the research pyramids around the projects of the research groups stands out, integrating science with the graduate and undergraduate processes, with the participation of the students.
Jill Dickinson superb question, I hope my answer is not too tangential. I think the system Noman Mohammad presented is excellent and runs parallel to what I am about to present. Student Capital is amazing when done right, however, there is far more onus on the teacher especially if you DON'T want each child/young adult on the same page, (an odd idea in the internet age.) Plus ideally, you would like them to teach the other students and work cooperatively or perhaps compete in teams as opposed to memorize and spit it back at the professor. I have two lessons online that illustrate what I am talking about. The very nature of accomplishing these goals leads the participants to read, research, evaluate, and finally discuss and debate. Don't worry about the fact that you are not the expert, I promise you will survive, and each time manage a "quest" you will be a little closer to a world-class expert in whichever domain you choose.
MegaEngineering Irrigating the Sahara
and The Poisonous Animal Webquest
So in the Sahara project, I decomposed this amazing endeavor into various aspects and the students chose what they would teach the class the following week in 10 to 20 minute PowerPoint presentations, telling them that we were leading this project.see

then when all was said and done we discussed how to effectuate our goals or if we should ethically create the great Saharan Forest. BTW a lot of students suggested areas for them to teach that I was unaware of.
The Poisonous Animal Webquest started out as just a bunch of, cool, weird-looking, colorful animals that my Med school students wanted to talk about from their class on toxicology. Soon, I took the crazy premise that there are no poisonous or venomous animals on the planet and that symbiotic bacteria produce the venom or toxins.See:

or the earlier Tetrodotoxin Webquest

Every semester we expanded the search and not initially and not with every class but we proved this premise in every one of the animals in the quest do see the second page of animals

Jill hope this opens some vistas
