Description
In this final capstone subject for the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation, students channel their passions to identify and develop an innovative product, service, initiative or creative output. Exercising a high level of independence, students build diverse teams to work towards a proof-of-concept for their innovation and map out a pathway to realisation. This includes identifying key stakeholders, developing strategies to sustain their initiative into the future and recognising the conditions necessary for system transformation.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
| 1. | Analyse complex systems to identify processes, interactions and intervention points |
|---|---|
| 2. | Evaluate the transformative value of proposed initiatives from multiple stakeholder perspectives |
| 3. | Persuasively communicate your proposed initiatives to diverse stakeholders |
| 4. | Identify and analyse the diverse knowledge types required to address identified challenges |
| 5. | Create original and imaginative responses to challenges through iterative processes of testing and refinement |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject contributes specifically to the development of the following course intended learning outcomes:
- Develop reflexive connection with an evolving self, demonstrating ethical and intellectual positions that reflect well-considered values that enable greater purpose and inclusivity. (CII.4.1)
Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
The subject provides opportunities for you as a student to pursue your passions and to learn what it takes to employ a transdisciplinary approach to diverse projects and contexts. In this subject you will refine your capacity to design and undertake a project using a range of methods, tools and approaches, but you won't be placed in multi-disciplinary teams. You will need to form your own teams and identify the knowledge types you have in your team and those that you may need to connect with outside of your team. Your capstone project represents an opportunity to design a creative intervention in a complex system and to create value for key stakeholders, including yourself. The subject also challenges you to contribute your knowledge, skills and experiences to your transdisciplinary innovation community.
So your experiences as a student in this subject support you to develop the following graduate attributes (GA):
• GA 1 Complex systems thinking
• GA 2 Create value in problem-solving and enquiry
• GA 3 Inter- and trans-disciplinary practices
• GA 4 Imaginative and ethical citizenship
Teaching and learning strategies
This subject is project-based and uses learning strategies that help students to progress their ideas developed around their own passions. Learning will take place in an immersive, experiential, studio-based environment. Structured activities will support students in the development of a proof-of-concept for their innovation. Feedback will be given regularly throughout the subject by staff, peers and industry or community stakeholders.
