Integrating the SLICC framework into a course/program provides your students with the opportunity to take part in a learning experience where they can co-create their own course that they will plan, propose, carry out, reflect on and evaluate. By undertaking a SLICC, they will develop a range of skills and attributes (academic, professional and/or personal) which will help them effectively engage with their co-created experience.
