I think we'll be seeing a lot more of this in the next year or two, though not always in manifesto form. This manifesto states, "The days of didactic instruction, where students are positioned as passive recipients of knowledge, should be long gone. We need to disrupt these approaches and reposition staff and students as active collaborators." Instead, students and educators should be thought of as co-creators of the learning experience. What does that mean? "Students and staff work together to decide on course content, such as course topics, learning activities, and assessment formats... Students via group work and peer learning activities bring their expertise and perspectives to the learning process... etc." There are more examples here.
