Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject contributes specifically to the development of the following course intended learning outcomes:
- Create productive strategies for contributing to thriving and sustainable innovation networks and ecosystems (1.3)
- Apply theoretical and philosophical perspectives to critically analyse assumptions and the ways disciplines, paradigms and practices guide thinking in academic, professional and everyday contexts (2.1)
Teaching and learning strategies
This Key Enabling Methodology (KEM) subject is offered online and supported by face-to-face sessions. Participants explore emerging cutting-edge approaches and methodologies for investigating and creatively responding to complex real-world challenges. Participants also draw on their experiences in professional fields and organisational contexts to reflect on ways that these new approaches could enable them to innovate in practice. By doing so, participants develop a repertoire of approaches that can be strategically applied in their professional contexts. Through reflective tasks participants develop their creative intelligence – including professional judgement about how these approaches can generate innovation in real-world contexts.
