Abstract
The role of academic developers (ADs) in student-staff partnerships (SSPs) is increasingly significant in universities, where 'students as partners' (SaP) is gaining momentum. ADs, given their central role, are ideally positioned to facilitate these partnerships. This chapter explores the benefits ADs gain from engaging with SSPs, investigates the application of a model for initiating, developing, and supporting SSPs across various cultures, and discusses the role of ADs in navigating recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) through SSPs as relational pedagogy. Drawing on an extensive literature review, we investigate academic development approaches to developing partnership learning communities and illustrate these with mini-case studies from different countries, institutions, departments, and disciplines. We delve into the challenges and opportunities of AI for ADs, calling for continued commitments to relational pedagogies through SSPs that explore AI with a focus on human interactions.
