Innovative and entrepreneurial models of WIL challenge the adequacy of traditional assessment approaches in generating the credible evidence of the entrepreneurial capabilities that give students an employability edge for an ever-evolving and complex future. Meanwhile, various #futureofwork reports consistently herald the need for capabilities related to entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity and complex problem solving.
The ATN Edge Project is addressing such challenges through the co-design, piloting and evaluation of a range of scalable and sustainable WIL assessment approaches (e.g. 360-assessments, use of online professional networks) in partnership with key stakeholders – national industry and recruiter groups, entrepreneurs, employers, alumni and students.
This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to:
- Explore entrepreneurial WIL approaches being implemented in Creative Industries, Business and STEM courses across Australia
- Investigate and share assessment strategies that enable students to evidence their enterprise and entrepreneurial skills
- Unpack challenges in evidencing learning and assessment in entrepreneurial WIL
The Edge Project is funded by a Excellence in Learning and Teaching grant from the Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN).
