Past and Present Projects

Expandable List

The Student Partner Program is designed to support a diverse range of disciplines and unique projects. To ensure each project is evaluated appropriately, the program has partnered with other bodies at the university to create multiple award streams. Each stream focuses on a specific area and is overseen by its own dedicated stream chair, who leads the review and approval process. This structure allows for fair, consistent, and specialized assessment, ensuring that every project is reviewed by individuals best equipped to understand its impact. The following streams have partnered with the Students as Partners Program to focus unique projects and opportunities for students. Partnered streams are in addition to the main stream and may not run each project cycle. 

Open Education Resources (OER) Stream – The creation, adaptation and use of OER is aimed at reducing barriers to learning materials, while also providing instructors greater autonomy in contextualizing course materials to better reflect their teaching and learning goals. The OER stream offers instructors the opportunity to hire students as collaborators on projects dedicated to the creation and/or adaptation of openly licensed learning materials. 

Online Course Design (OCD) stream – Provides up to $4,000 per project to hire one or more student course-designers for Summer and/or Fall ($2,000 per student, per term up to a maximum of $4,000 per project across two terms which must be used for online course design/redesign). Faculty and student partners will receive dedicated online course design, teaching technologies, and accessible teaching practices support through a learning community composed of the Digital Learning and educational developers from the MacPherson Institute. Only McMaster undergraduate or graduate credit courses are eligible. Proof of chair/Associate-Dean acknowledgement is mandatory.   

Course Consultant Partnership Program (CCPP) stream – The CCPP stream operates according to a particular model, which is described on the following page: https://mi.mcmaster.ca/course-consultant-partnership-program/. This stream pairs instructors with a student whose role is to contribute to and provide feedback on course development. This allows partners to collaborate throughout the Spring/Summer term on their course; this stream can be used to develop a brand new course or re-design an existing one.
