active student participation

I worked with the Unit for Academic Teaching and Learning at Uppsala University with their project on Active Student Participation. That work included designing and illustrating an interactive handbook, creating several videos and building a website. Download the book, watch films and explore at www.uu.se/asp.

When planning the Active Student Participation Companion, the project team wanted a book that felt playful yet academic; they wanted it to feel accessible and somewhat unpolished, to encourage readers to use it as a handbook to scribble in and add to, rather than treating it as a theoretical tome set in stone.

To achieve this we decided on a colorful, collage aesthetic. I felt that combining and reworking old images in novel combinations in collages was a good parallel to the work of rethinking the traditional structures of learning in universities, which is one of the main themes of the book.
