Research suggests students feel more engaged in their learning and express an increased sense of ownership when they co-create a learning event with their instructor and classmates. However, there is a gap in the research regarding how students define agency. Students in two asynchronous online classes were asked to participate in an online discussion about learning. We conducted qualitative analysis of the discussion board responses to create a collective definition of student agency before engaging students in the co-creation of a learning event. We then surveyed the students about their experience with questions derived from the shared definition of agency.
