This is a five-week competency-based module. It will be delivered on-campus through a mix of case studies, on-campus lectures, classroom-based workshops, teamwork projects, and individual projects. Students will engage with fellow learners and tutors in classroom-based workshops and group assignments. All the lecturers involved are experienced researchers who will draw from their research expertise to develop and facilitate a transformative learning experience where students will learn from each other and will be guided to apply the concepts learnt in lectures to specific real-life case studies that address several UN SDGs. The plurality of disciplinary backgrounds and nationalities/cultural backgrounds of lecturers and students, as well as the participatory learning approach employed during workshops and tutorials will enable the implementation of a flexible, inclusive, active, and applied teaching and learning approach. The learning experience will be technology-enhanced using Brightspace and various software packages and tools. Major focus will be placed into the provision of specific feedback to students to foster a flexible and agile learning experience through ongoing reflection of strong points and areas where improvement is needed.
