  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    No single text book will cover the course content. Reading and support materials will be obtained from books and journal articles available from the library and from publicly available web sites such as WHO and other relevant web sites.
    Recommended Resources
    Teaching staff will guide students to relevant literature and on line sources of relevant material.
    Online Learning
    MyUni will be used extensively to communicate with the students. Lectures will be recorded to provide students with the opportunity to review theory. Seminars are not recorded; students are expected to attend these to have the opportunity to discuss innovation and entrepreneurship concepts with the presenters. Other supporting information and publications will also be made available via MyUni.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The course materials will be delivered via lectures, seminars and workshops. Workshops provide opportunity to clarify and apply concepts from on-line theory lectures. Seminars from guest presenters provide real-world examples of innovation in health and interactive activities. The course will teach skills relevant for leadership in all areas of health.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    This is a 3 unit course for one semester and has a work load of 12 hours per week, including contact and non-contact time, and is in total 156 hours across the semester.

    Contact time is scheduled as a 1-hour seminar plus 2-hour workshop, and is timetabled such that students do not have clashes with other courses. Non-contact time includes ~1 h preparation and review of on-line lectures per week. Student attendance is expected at both seminars and workshops.
    Learning Activities Summary
    Lectures and seminars will guide students through key concepts of innovation related to health. They will be augmented by case studies presented in seminar sessions by guest speakers.  Students will work through structured exercises related to core concepts and upcoming assessment tasks in workshops during the first half of the semester. In the second half of the semester, students will work in teams to assess potential innovative solutions to health problems, then develop and present an innovation plan.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

    We used student SELT responses ieach year to improve the course including alignment and depth of content, and scaffolding, timing and weighting of assessment tasks. This includes replacing the final exam was replaced with in-semester quizzes to assess understanding of core concepts, provision and editing rubrics for each assessment task and providing exemplars of high standard assignments for each task to clarify expectations.

    The course has again uncdergone a major revision for 2024.In particular, the theory content has been revised, and we have removed one assignment, to allow students to complete their remaining individual assessment earlier in semester (week 5) and to start their group assignment earlier in semester. Two new course co-coordinators, Prof Rob McLaughlin and Dr Joelle Hawa, both bring expertise as innovators in the med tech sector to the course.
