Can learning environments provoke shifts or transformations in how people think, explore and create together?
In this complex, networked world, what can make learning initiatives powerful and transformative for individuals and collectives?
During this microcredential, participants will collaborate to tackle a current complex educational challenge that cuts across sectors and professions. Using creative provocations to shift worldviews, you will work collaboratively and playfully to explore how transformations become possible and visible, tracking how they might develop.
In the process, a generative view of learning and change will inspire you to enquire, network, collaborate and negotiate in ways that extend current ideas or perspectives, provoking shifts in ways of thinking and acting.
Taking inquiry-inspired approaches, participants can develop an appreciation of how questions can be more transforming than answers.
Designed by award-winning global leaders in transdisciplinary education from the TD School (home of the internationally-recognised Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation) – this practice-based microcredential brings participants together to tackle a complex educational challenge, exploring how transformations can occur.
Through participating in an online studio approach which will immerse you in the latest thinking and methods of transdisciplinary learning, you will be able to develop highly sought-after knowledge and skills applicable in a wide range of educational, learning and development contexts.

Over five weeks, participants will bring their professional / life experiences and knowledge to this online studio as they work together with external partners, creatively rethinking a complex educational challenge that cuts across sectors and stakeholders. By confronting different perspectives, approaches and views integral to the challenge, you will learn to use a range of creative inquiry techniques to question, explore alternative possibilities and anticipate new learning pathways.
Areas of exploration in this course include:
This microcredential is designed as an online studio, to allow you to engage in creative experiences and explore ideas relating to a complex educational challenge in transformative ways. Through sharing your early insights as online postings in response to the preliminary inquiries, and engaging with others, you can consider how your contributions might add to a thriving community of participants, practitioners and researchers.
During a series of intensive, guided collaborative sessions, you’ll work with other participants in real time to integrate your perspectives, ideas and insights. During that process, participants will work with other stakeholders to rethink a complex educational challenge, and track shifts in learning pathways.
This microcredential is highly collaborative, enabling you to benefit from interactions with others, whilst contributing to the collective’s learning experience. In your individual assessments, you can use those experiences to rethink the complex challenge, make sense of the collective learning and question the relevance of tracking these transformations in your own practice.
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Assessment task 1 - Creative testing of methods, approaches and frameworks (worth 30%)
Assessment task 2 - Rethinking a complex challenge: an inquiry-inspired transformation (worth 70%)
Participants must complete all assessments and achieve at least 50% of the course’s total marks.
