This is a 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 are specifically selected and facilitated to ensure the 17 UN SDGs are addressed. 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. Lecturers draw from their research expertise to develop real-life case studies/scenarios. Graduate attributes will be developed as follows: Agile: Explorative and critical thinking approach through case-based learning emphasizing the ability to analyze and interpret information. Articulate: Individual and group activities to develop a range of communication skills. Multiple modes of assessment (oral presentations and individual critical essay). Courageous: Students are encouraged to think critically and develop/share their own views supported by appropriate evidence and an articulated rationale. Curious: Reference materials provided to encourage independent learning. Responsible: Specific participatory activities facilitated by lectures to foster a safe, inclusive and culturally sensitive learning environment.
