Abstract
<jats:p>Successfully navigating the challenges posed by twenty-first-century higher education demands more than just creativity. It necessitates a recognition that a shift in our teaching methodologies is imperative. It requires the determination to implement change and the courage to unlearn traditional, tried-and-tested methods in favour of embracing risk and experimentation. While academia frequently discusses student risk-taking and the challenges posed by learners seeking certainty, the discourse often overlooks how educators respond to change and manage risk. <jats:italic>Seeding change</jats:italic> offers case studies that demonstrate <jats:italic>learning alongside</jats:italic> as a teaching and learning strategy that requires both the teacher and the student to share risk-taking and uncertain outcomes. It requires an active and interactive engagement but the potential rewards for both the staff and students make this well worth the effort.</jats:p>
