Vignette Facilitation (no written report) – 20% due at start of class in nominated weeks. You will be required to facilitate an innovative and participative session on one of the nominated vignettes from the Curtin IP Commercialisation portfolio. The session is to be undertaken in groups of 3-4 dependent upon class size (3 is default). Each session is expected to be 20 rninutes long, including an interactive activity (groups of 4 have 25 minutes). You are to do a thoughtful analysis of one significant (over 3000 words in length) journal article for each member of
Ity of Business and Law iol of Management
The on, aolhoritative version of this Unit Outline T■fl?:1:
the group (3 in team = 3 articles, all conceptually relevant to the case). The articles must be sourced from academic peer reviewed joumals of high quality and relevance to this unit (innovation/entrepreneurship). You must then make a strong and convincing linkage between the key ideas expressed in your selected article and the story of your allocated Curtin IP Commercialisation vignette. You must place the full reference details (not the article, just a proper full reference) in the blackboard discussion forum called Vignette Article Library (there is one for each country location so ensure you have the right one). This posting of your intended article is required so that you may ‘claim’ your article since it helps guard against two students using the same articles. If hvo students from different groups use the same article then do take care not to collude. Under no circumstances may members of a tearn share the same article for the session facilitated.
The discussion you lead will: • Distil the main story and CIM themes of your vignette, as it pertains to your articles and demonstrate why you decided the articles chosen were so relevant to your vignette. • Identify the main idea(s) expressed in each of the papers selected; • Involve your audience meaningfully in the learning by including a novel and effective innovation that helps convey the intended message. • The discussion in workshop does require the creation of a brief one page “lesson plan” in the templated form provided in Blackboard. You must submit that lesson plan to tumitin AT LEAST 24hrs before your allocated workshop slot Note: Since your tosk is essentiolly to fit a particular piece of literature (each) to thd sing. cose (vignette) context it follows that you cannot use ANY work that wos written specifkolly for or obout the cose. The assessment of your team performance will be based on the understanding. relevance and quality of your content; the organisation and clarity of your session and the creativity you demonstrate in designing it. We will reward the unexpected, an innovation that disrupts the existing norm of ” yet another team presentation”. Since this is a real challenge to achieve, the presentations will be eligible for the “Innovation Awards”, which will be voted upon by your peers and will influence the mark of the best presentation in each class. You will also have the OPTION to peer evaluate the efforts of your group members and have a moderated result awarded based upon your teams collective decision and the observations of your classroom facilitator. Guidelines for Great Student Facilitated Vignette Workshop 1. Make sure your work is presented as a TEAM, not as 3 or 4 people taking it in turns to do ‘their bit’. 2. Speak to your audience, not to the assessor (your instruct. who should be all but invisible to you :-). 3. Rehearse. It will go much more smoothly if you do. In particular, check your timing and edit it down if it is over time, as you will be stopped at the timelimit set this includes any audiebec participation time in design, so allow .r that). 4. Simple recall quizzes of any format on the content of your presentation are BANNED. 5. Don’t read at all from your notes or the presented screen, engage us in a conversation about the material presented 6. Do not try to be too “academic”, using big words and citing famous people is not necesary. Indeed, simplifying the complex shows understanding and synthesis of ideas shows critical thinking. 7. Strive to synthesise and simplify your selected article into memorable and dear messages delivered in very creative ways since effective creativity is an assessment criteria. 8. A great indicator of the quality of your work will be to see your audience noting down the reference details to use in their own report.
