This document discusses issues related to content and innovation in education. It suggests that gathering content involves browsing resources, deciding what to use, creating and organizing materials. It also emphasizes that innovation requires challenge, new skills and adapting to change. Several methods are proposed for making courses and assessments more innovative, such as alternative quiz questions that require real-world tasks or research. Overall, the document advocates an approach where content is co-created with students throughout a course to increase innovation.
