Developing and listening to student voices through a student-staff research project

How can we listen to student voices in order to improve learning, teaching and the curriculum? If we, as members of staff, are to enable students to learn effectively we need to understand how they are engaging with their studies, how they are developing concepts and how they are connecting to their subjects, their fellow learners and their teachers. We need to find out how they understand and use their environments and resources for learning.
