MyUni 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 (see: )

Work will be collaborative and participatory.

As well as ECIC academics and lecturers who will present workshops in their field of expertise, external technical professionals in areas relevant to your needs will be on hand to guide you in the development of your project.

As a guide, a 3 unit course comprises a total of 156 hours work (this includes face-to-face contact, any online components and self-directed study).

Due to the structure of this course and the collaborative nature of building the project, students should attend all classes in order to pass the course. There is considerable experiential learning during the intensive classes that build your knowledge and thus enable you to be successful in this course.

Where modules include presentations that form assessment items, attendance is deemed mandatory.

Additional mentoring sessions outside the scheduled intensives are at the discretion of the student.

This is a draft schedule and session dates are a guide only. The timetable may be changed during the course delivery if necessary.

Assessment 2: Jobs to be Done Essay
Weighting: 15%
Submission Details: Online through MyUni

Task:
Jobs to be Done (JTBD) Framework:
We start with the idea that customers buy products, not because of the type of person they are, but because they have a job to do. It is this desire to get a job done that causes them to buy a product or service in the first place.

Choose one of the contrasting examples listed in MyUni, to demonstrate your understanding of the JTBD framework. Identify a
number of possible JTBD for your chosen example and contrast how one of the offerings is either more or less suited to these jobs when compared to the other.

Based on your research and analysis, how can you apply what you have learned to the concept you are working with in this course.
Consider using the Strategy Canvas as shown in the third workshop to contrast your concept and its JTBD against other alternate offering.

All text based assignments must be submitted via MyUni.
Please refer to step by step instructions:

There are a few points to note about the submission of assignments:

• Assignment Submission:  Assignments should not be emailed to the instructor; they must be lodged via the MyUni Course site (unless specified to do both). Note that assignments may be processed via TURNITIN, which is an online plagiarism prevention tool.
• Cover Sheet:  Please submit, separate to your assignment, the completed 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Assessment Cover Sheet providing details of yourself and your team members (if applicable), your assignment, the course, date submitted, etc. as well as the declaration signed by you that this is your (your team’s) work.  Note that the declaration on any electronically submitted assignment will be deemed to have the same authority as a signed declaration.
• Backup Copy of Assignments:  You are advised to keep a copy of your assignments in case the submitted copy goes missing.  Please ensure that all assignment pages are numbered. If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
• Extensions of Time:  Any request for an extension of time for the submission of an assignment should be made well before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer.  Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date.  Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine extenuating circumstances and proof, such as a doctor’s certificate, may be required.
• Failure to submit: Failure to submit an assignment on time or by the agreed extension deadline may result in penalties and may incur a fail grade.  Note that a late penalty of 5% of the total available marks for that assessment item will be incurred each day an assignment is handed in late (Unless otherwise stated in 'Assessment Related Requirements' or 'Assessment Detail' above).  Assignments handed in after 14 days from the due submission date will fail even if a 100% mark is granted for the work.

Resubmission & Remarking
Resubmission of an assignment for remarking after reworking it to obtain a better mark will not normally be accepted.  Approval for resubmission will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds.
