Event Details:
This seminar discusses the objectives of business education at third level and proposes creativity and associated skills be placed at the forefront of the first year experience. As business teaching is increasingly conducted by authority rather than creativity there exists a necessity to ensure students new to the college experience are challenged and encouraged to engage in harnessing their creative potential during their first academic year. This seminar will develop the need for first year course design, to follow the 3 steps outlined in the model (Provide Opportunities for Creative Behavior (before); Develop Skills for Creative Learning (during); and Reward Creative Achievements (after).) to allow students the freedom to explore the business discipline in their own unique manner while maintaining the check and balances required from Quality Assurance. This seminar will show how this template should be considered during programmatic design and reviews with consideration to continuous assessment design, in order to allow course lecturers the freedom to both design and reward continuous assessment with creative skills in mind.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and develop creative means of assessment to optimise learner engagement,
- Analyse the impact of non traditional assessment methods on programme design
- Evaluate the importance different types of learner engagement in the assessment process
