Abstract: This article describes an experiment with postgraduate students that used a User Generated Content (UGC) strategy throughout their course in order to achieve their learning. This case study was used as pilot experience in a European project - CONCEDE (Content Creation Excellence through Dialogue in Education). The project deals with the content generated by users in Higher Education (HE) and its impact in learning. A set of activities were proposed to 14 students, split into 3 different groups. They had to analyse, collect and manage information in order to produce a blog, a presentation and an eleaning course on the subject “Safety and Internet”. It was a big challenge for the major part of them and, at the end, they concluded that this learning approach is much more frightening but effective than others that they had experienced.
