Course Audience

The course is designed for teachers, lecturers and tutors teaching, encouraging and supporting creative entrepreneurs in the field of Creative Industries.

For teachers and tutors the course will look at the importance of developing individuals’ existing creative ideas, finding new ways to integrate high quality entrepreneurship education into existing services and structures by training these individuals.

For those interested in the Creative industries, the course will help them gain a better understanding of the actual industry, how to develop their entrepreneurial skills and how highly employers value innovative individuals. The goal of the course is to empower individuals to become creative entrepreneurs through online services.

The materials are designed for various uses. The course can be delivered as a complete curriculum or parts of it might be integrated to supplement other courses. All materials are provided as open source and each section of this course of­fers a variety of additional online materials such as case studies and activities about the topic.

As some learners might want to learn the content (or just parts of it) individually, all mod­ules and additional learning resources are pro­vided online.

Teachers and tutors can also use the course on their own for professional development. In­formation about how we suggest the materials can be used are provided at the beginning of each tutors guide for each module.

The course can be used in a classroom envi­ronment as well as a self-contained distance learning course.

Although the Creative Entrepreneurs Online classroom course is designed as a complete curriculum, each module can be used as a stand-alone session. Therefore, each module starts with a basic introduction about the topic which can be skipped if you use more than one module or the whole course.

You do not need to use the materials in any particular order. If you want to concentrate on a specific topic you can jump in at your point of interest – although using the whole course is suggested.

This Creative Entrepreneurs Online classroom course is accompanied by an extra course designed for phones and tablets. This module can be accessed online.
