The project involves UoN Psychology students generating video content about their university experience and teaching and learning activities, that can be hosted on our UoNPsych Youtube channel and used for teaching and promotional activities. 

The main benefits of the Student Generated Video Content (SGVC) are the improved connection between existing students, increasing engagement in their university experience, offering diverse role models and the potential to attract future students via authentic student personas. 

Students will also build expertise in collaborative research, recording and editing videos, build confidence in their abilities and enhance their employability-related skills.  

The project aims to involve students as co-creators of video content to increase engagement, social belonging and build community between current and future students

This will be achieved via the following objectives:

1) involve a group of students representing different year groups and social groups who will record a set of videos featuring different university and teaching experiences

2) edit these videos to create a suite of learning resources

3) host these videos on the UoN Psych Youtube site and embed them into relevant module and programme NILE sites

4) evaluate student experiences using interviews, surveys and focus groups
