SLICC case study


About:

This case study highlights the online Student-Led, Individually-Created Courses (SLICCs) that have been developed at the The University of Edinburgh. These courses allow students to create their own project from beginning to end. In doing so, students “gain credit for self-initiated, independently-led and self-directed learning… largely undertaken independently of university supervision.” (University of Edinburgh)
