  11. Co-creation as part of learning is not about ceding control of the educational process to the student, nor is it about joint knowledge creation, rather it is about creating an experience environment in which students can have an active dialogue and co-construct personalized experiences that facilitate the learning process (Prahalad & Ramaswamy, 2004). It is about creating an environment where a student can take abstract constructs and turn them into relatable concepts that have meaning for them.
