PDC111201 - Arts Leadership and Social Innovation

Course Details

Course Summary

This online micro credential will begin by discovering the ways that leaders create and innovate products that promote social innovation within companies. Students will develop their understanding about social issues and learn how they have a role to play catalysing positive social change as a changemaker and future leader in the arts sector. Through a case study of an arts organisation in contrast to other industries examples, students can recognise similarities and differences between industry examples of product innovation and social innovation. The micro-credential will dispel the myth that social innovation is solely an objective of entrepreneurial insight and will encourage students to consider social innovation in their own capacity and how they can innovate through the arts sector. Additionally, the micro-credential poses the question: Who is responsible for innovation?

This online micro-credential provides a non-creditable micro-credential and digital badge which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.

Our micro-credentials are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Course Structures

Study Mode Definitions

Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term.
