Introduction
editRenewable Assignments [1]are learning activities that are completed by students and then published for a wider audience. Instead of a traditional or disposable assignment, [2] where the student's work is submitted, marked and discarded. [3] A renewable assignment is presented freely and openly to other. Which then can be worked on. When completed online, these renewable assignments provide an authentic task, which has learning benefits[4] for the student, and if licensed as an Open Education Resource (OER) under a Creative Commons License, the assignment also has a lasting benefit to the broader scholarly community[5]
Renewable assignments are popular among digitally capable students [6]. They feel their effort has value since their submissions are visible beyond the markbook of a course.[7] This knowledge motivates them to produce excellent work. Renewable assignments tap into the notion that students want recognition for their efforts. [8] The assignments can take different forms. A group of students could co-create or update an existing glossary, [9] a cohort of instructional designers can produce an online textbook about project management[10], a public interest website might be developed, the H5P Content Hub where interactive content can be shared and reused, textbook reviews[11] or articles written on Wikipedia, [12] by health science students who want to share public health information. [13]
Renewable assignments have gained more popularity since university teaching has shifted from a lecturer disseminating their knowledge in front of the class. To a more student-centered ' Constructivist approach. Students, who when given a reusable assignment, then become an active learners, capable of constructing their own knowledge.[14] Instead of listening passively, the take on a more active role in their thought development.
