Student partnership in the co-production of an AI module selection tool
Running an economics department is very much like living the discipline. Student demands are infinite and staff time is a precious and finite constraint. Programme teams often struggle to accommodate student needs while still fulfilling their teaching and research responsibilities. Finding an initiative which expanded our production possibility frontier was therefore a welcome breath of fresh air. Advancements in generative AI and the new Ignite programme, launched at the University of Southampton, allowed us to do just that. Undergraduate students on this programme are given the opportunity to participate in internal internships within the university in the Easter (Spring) break in their first year. One of the Ignite Interns partnered with the Economics Programmes team to co-produce a new resource for undergraduate students in the department. The following paragraphs outline this project and reflect on the benefits and challenges of involving students in the co-production of student support resources.

Abstract
Running an economics department is very much like living the discipline. Student demands are infinite and staff time is a precious and finite constraint. Programme teams often struggle to accommodate student needs while still fulfilling their teaching and research responsibilities. Finding an initiative which expanded our production possibility frontier was therefore a welcome breath of fresh air. Advancements in generative AI and the new Ignite programme, launched at the University of Southampton, allowed us to do just that. Undergraduate students on this programme are given the opportunity to participate in internal internships within the university in the Easter (Spring) break in their first year. One of the Ignite Interns partnered with the Economics Programmes team to co-produce a new resource for undergraduate students in the department. The following paragraphs outline this project and reflect on the benefits and challenges of involving students in the co-production of student support resources.
