Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
The Enterprise and Innovation module adopts a dynamic and interactive approach to teaching and learning, designed to immerse students in both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of entrepreneurship and innovation. Central to the module is active and task-based learning, which places students at the heart of real-world problem-solving.
Collaboration is a cornerstone of the module, with peer and group work playing a pivotal role in the learning process. Students work in teams on an entrepreneurial ecosystem project, fostering essential skills in communication, teamwork, and shared decision-making. Groups will be presenting their projects to the rest of the class.
Lectures and guided discussions provide the foundation for exploring key concepts and frameworks, but they are intentionally interactive, inviting students to critically analyze ideas and contribute diverse perspectives.
Reflective learning is interwoven throughout the module, encouraging students to connect their experiences and aspirations to the topics discussed. Reflective in-class quick exercises help students develop self-awareness and critical thinking, enabling them to see how the lessons of the module can inform their personal and professional growth.
The module also emphasizes enquiry and problem-based learning, where students confront open-ended challenges that require innovative and strategic thinking. These tasks nurture creativity and analytical skills, pushing students to explore entrepreneurial opportunities and navigate complex market dynamics.
Debates and critical discussions further enliven the learning experience, prompting students to engage with pressing issues such as the ethics of innovation, sustainability, and the societal implications of entrepreneurship. These dialogues challenge assumptions and stimulate intellectual curiosity, encouraging a deeper engagement with the material.
The use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly) is permitted in this module as a support for learning and research, but students must provide substantial personal input and demonstrate critical engagement with any AI-generated outputs. Moreover, students are fully responsible for verifying the accuracy, originality, and relevance of any AI-generated content. AI must not be used to present work as your own.
