The FLITE team says hello to the students from the Course “Entrepreneurship and Innovation” (Pilot 2)
Pilot 2 Course “Entrepreneurship and Innovation” – 18 May to 6 July 2015
The Course “Entrepreneurship and Innovation”began on the 18th of May, with around 1504 students enrolled from Europe, but not only. Now, for the next 8 weeks, the students are supposed to work in teams, using a methodology called CCD – ConCurrent Design, which is based in collaborative processes, to produce a business plan using the Osterwalder Canvas. The pedagogical idea is based on SSDL – Staged Self Directed Learning and PLN – Personal Learning Network is encouraged.
We wish to all students’ success in their studies and hope this time will be enjoyable and fruitful.

The pedagogical idea was based on SSDL – Staged Self Directed Learning and PLN – Personal Learning Network is encouraged.
