9. Students as change agents Strategic commitment to engaging with students as agents of change in learning and teaching activities to develop and enhance personal and leadership attributes for employability. InStePP will draw together existing experience and expertise to create a new role of e-pioneer to influence a range of organisational activities. Build on existing strong relationships between careers services and professional associations to explore new forms of recognition of student leadership activities. SESE governance will oversee cascading of successful partnerships into all Faculties. Educational developers with learner experience research experience will explore, evaluate and illustrate how partnerships develop digital literacies.

10. Objectives The project will embed a variety of active partnerships with students into curriculum development activities It will develop, implement and exemplify: institutional approaches to partnerships as an integral part of digital literacy development in the curriculum and in employability policy and practice; digital literacies contextualised for disciplines and for career development; and student roles and activities which support the development of staff digital literacies.

11. Supporting SESE Strategic approach: integrate provision for digital literacies for staff and students across the institution; establish, support and build recognition for the role of student e-pioneers within existing core academic and e-learning development activities; evaluate how partnerships enhance the student experience and benefit the development of both student and staff digital literacies. InStePP will help Brookes meet commitments in SESE to both digital literacies and student engagement.
