Assessment criteria, fail (0)

The student has not actively participated in classes and group work. The student has serious deficiencies in knowledge, performance, or results. For example, there is a lack of self-directed information search, or the required literature has not been read or the required tools, methods, and theories have not been utilized in assignments or non-participation in the required presentations or assignments are completely missing or they have been returned late.

Teaching methods

Exploratory Learning/Inquiry Based Learning (IBL), Active Learning. Team-based Learning:
IBL: problem solving – students identify information needs, formulate research questions, search appropriate information, share and discuss information in group meetings, use information and insights to develop/describe an outcome – in this course a solution (product+Services) for a defined customer group.

 
Team-based learning: together – students define information needs, find answers to questions, solve tasks and formulate an outcome. Each student should participate actively in and come well prepared to all the group activities. Sharing is the key. Co-creation should happen in dialoque.
 

information retriaval/new knowledge creation (journals, books, podcasts, webinars, interviews, surveys, observations...)
information processing – mind-mapping
ideation – brainstorming…….
Business Model
Value Proposition, positioning
Blue Ocean Strategy Tools and Framwerk
Other business development tools
Service Design approach
portfolio
Key Learning Notes

Exam schedules

No exam, therefore there is no possibility to redo the returned or not returned tasks.

The assessment of this course is not based on a final exam but on separate learning assignments, all assignments (0-5 and pass/fail) must be submitted by the deadline set by the teacher and an accepted study attainment cannot be improved.
Fail/pass assessment is used in some assignments (self assessment and peer-review). 

International connections

Innovation pedagogy

Innovation pedagogy i.e., Innopeda refers to a learning approach which aims at the development of the innovation abilities of individuals and groups.

The aim of Innopeda is to produce information, skills and attitudes which not only provide a sound basis for success in working life and for developing working life, but also for a good life and building a sustainable future.

Innopeda is a strategic approach which we implement in teaching and learning and in the structures and processes which support them.
