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. Seminars will be recorded and loaded up on line for the students to review later, but 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 seminars, workshops and assignments. Students will work in small groups to develop and present an innovation plan in the final assessment. The course will involve problem identification and problem solving skills.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 2-hour seminar plus 2-hour workshop, and is timetabled such that students do not have clashes with other courses. Student attendance is expected at both seminars and workshops, and seminar content will be drawn on in the following workshops.Learning Activities Summary
Seminars will guide students through key concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship related to health. They will be augmented by case studies presented in seminar sessions by guest speakers. In workshop sessions students will work through structured exercises related to core concepts and upcoming assessment tasks during the first half of the semester. In the second half of the semester, students will work in groups to assess potential innovation and entrepreneurship solutions to health problems, then develop and present an innovation plan.Specific Course Requirements

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback
The University 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 University 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.
This course was delivered for the first time in 2019, and we thank prior students for frank feedback which led to major changes for 2019.
In summary, the following substantial changes have been made:
* Assesment tasks have been revised to provide a progression from evaluation of an existing innovation (literature review), identification and evaluation of an innovation applied to a specific health issue (case study presentation), and finally proposal and assessment of a new innovation (innovation plan - presentation and written report).
* Clear rubrics and instructions have been added for each assessment task.
* Assessment tasks will be graded by academic staff and marks and feedback will be provided within 2 weeks of the submission date for each task.
* The end-of-semester exam has been replacemed by four in-semester quizzes to assess understanding of core concepts, allow use of case studies as examples, and provide prompt feeedback on understanding.
We further revised the course in 2020 including shifting due dates for the first two assignments earlier to avoid overlap between assignment 2 and the group assignment, and removing the written report component of the final assignment, so that all assessment for this course is complete before semester 1 Swotvac.
Students in 2020 rated the course positively (86% broad agreement), with positive comments on the broadening of skills and perspective it provides compared to the rest of the degree, as well as course organisation and guest speakers. "The innovation and entrepreneurship side of the course was very intellectually stimulating and added a differentperspective to what we have learnt throughout our degree."

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
