Course Delivery:
This course is designed to provide you with self-paced, creative, online experiences that engage you with key ideas and practices associated with designing and prototyping, using transdisciplinary provocations to spark imaginative possibilities.
Participants will explore design methods, approaches, perspectives and knowledge from different fields and trial them in their professional practice or in other situations. The relevance and worth of these ideas will be tested, and participants will be tasked with generating a design proposal to enact in their professional setting. The weekly Zoom sessions provide you with rich opportunities to also learn from other people from different professional backgrounds.
The learning and assessments are personalised to be directly related to participant’s practical on-the-job and day-to-day experiences. As part of the assessment process, participants are mentored individually, enabling them to expand their ideas in forward-looking and powerful ways. This microcredential will challenge you to be a design thinker for change.
