Course outline

This course is delivered through a mix of online learning and four live online sessions. The course features a mix of theoretical concepts and application in today’s world, designed to enable participants to solve complex business problems using evidence-based judgement as well as analytical and creative skills. 

You’ll have access to online resources and self-directed learning activities and are expected to study online materials provided via the UTS learning management system (Canvas). You'll be expected to complete online learning activities which will help identify knowledge gaps and inform discussions. You’ll also be required to engage in online discussions with your peers and the facilitator.

Online sessions have been designed to present the theory and practice of the course content, as well as review questions and upcoming assessments. You’ll be advised if required to complete pre-work activities before attending the live online sessions. Discussions will focus on the application of concepts, techniques and methods.

A mandatory, online formative assessment provides participants with feedback to direct their self-study. Ongoing general and individual feedback will be provided throughout the course via the Canvas platform. Participants will also receive formal feedback on assessment tasks.

Course delivery

This course is delivered online using a range of resources, self-directed study and live interactive sessions with the academic. Course content will be presented to participants in a variety of formats (lecture slides, notes, videos, articles) and delivered online. At the beginning of the course, participants are expected to review materials and complete tasks on their own before attending online review sessions with the lecturer that are spread over the learning period. While materials will be provided to participants via the learning management system, you are also expected to seek information independently.
