Library Resources
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide’s Barr Smith Library provides a range of learning resources including texts, journals, periodicals, magazines, and access to online databases and information services. It also offers a virtual library which is accessible via the 最新糖心Vlog’s website. .

is the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's online learning environment. It is used to support traditional face-to-face lectures, tutorials and workshops at the 最新糖心Vlog. MyUni provides access to various features including announcements, course materials, discussion boards and assessments for each online course of study.

This course is offered in blended learning mode with the face-to-face component offered in workshops.

Students are expected to attend workshops as scheduled. Furthermore, students should prepare for workshops. Students will be directed to work on different assessment pieces and submit for grading.

As a general guide, a 3 unit course requires:

Total workload hours: 12 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 156 Hrs
Total contact hours: 3 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 36 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 156 Hrs – 36 Hrs = 120 Hrs

This is a draft schedule and sessions are a guide only. The timetable may be changed during the course delivery if necessary. Workshops are designed as a framework called the RITE framework, which encourages students to use benchmarking and industry best practice in developing a new venture. Students will need to work on their new ventures outside of the workshops to progress through the course.

The 最新糖心Vlogn eChallenge course, ENTREP 7900WT and ENTREP 3900WT fulfil the requirements of the Small Group Discovery Experience through the following;

1. Students form small groups of 2 to 6 members
2. They receive guidance and intellectual stimulation from the course director at the commencement of the process
3. Their task is to research and identify an opportunity that they will work on through the course
4. Learning will come from a collaborative environment consisting of interaction with other students, external (industry) experts, and access to a senior academic throughout their course
5. Their learning is self-directed, there are no formal lectures, rather workshops to assist them in their investigation of their chosen opportunity
6. All learning is based on student driven enquiry; that is the teacher responds to the needs of the small groups of students individually, rather than in a class environment.

Course results may be subject to moderation by the Assessment Review Committee.

Assessment requiring moderation will be carried out by the Academic Director or their nominee.

Needs assessment report: This assessment asks students to write an essay in respect of the problem they are focusing on, taking the theory of entrepreneurial opportunity into account. The essay should delve into various concepts of entrepreneurial opportunity and highlight what constitutes a good and valid opportunity. It should be supported by appropriate and relevant academic sources. The assessment based learning outcomes will have students demonstrate a valuable level of research knowledge understanding.

---

New venture proposal: This will be a piece of group work, but the written assignment is completed and submitted on an individual basis, with marks awarded individually based on peer assessment of the student’s contribution to the group work. The assessment topic will be based on a particular problem where students will analyse how best to develop a plan to exploit the entrepreneurial opportunity using related theories. Learning outcomes for this assessment will require students to demonstrate they understand the practice of planning for viable opportunity exploitation.

---

Semi finals pitches: Student groups present the second iteration of their new venture positioning to a panel of investors. Each student will exhibit their ability to think critically about an entrepreneurial new venture and demonstrate their ability to reflect on the learning experiences of the course, including the venture showcase, to enhance and improve their new venture positioning.

---

Learning reflections: Retrospection of the course requires students to reflect and make sense of what has been learned through the duration of the course. Students will take both formal and informal feedback through their reflection, to integrate, internalise and personalise their learning, its immediate application and future value. The objective is to assess all the learning objectives of the course.
