DESCRIPTION:The National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education are delighted to announce that the fully online Open Course\, Fostering Excellence in Research Led Entrepreneurship Education\, will run from April 2023. This course has been developed in partnership with Munster Technological University (MTU). \nMTU fosters excellence through research led entrepreneurship education. MTU’s Hincks Centre for Entrepreneurship Excellence has designed this course specifically for entrepreneurship educators in higher education. This free\, online\, self-directed course with a digital badge award is funded by the National Forum. \nOverview\nThis course aims to foster excellence in entrepreneurship education by guiding educators with the most effective and considered teaching and assessment methods. It draws on the National Entrepreneurship Assessment Review 2 from 2021\, the 2016 EntreComp competence framework\, and the latest research in the field. \nEntrepreneurship is recognised as a key driver positively influencing economic growth and recovery as well as improved standards of living within the economy. Fostering Entrepreneurship not only prepares and educates individuals to identify and capitalise on opportunities but also empowers them to be flexible in adapting to changing societies\, economies allowing individuals to become more innovative and financially independent. \nHigher education has a crucial role in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset\, which benefits individuals\, organisations\, communities\, and the environment. This course helps participants understand the principles and practices of entrepreneurship education\, integrate effective techniques and tools\, and enhance their assessment practices for better learning outcomes. \nParticipants can also join a network of entrepreneurship educators to exchange ideas and collaborate. By completing this course\, participants can contribute to promoting entrepreneurship education excellence and promoting economic growth and sustainability. \nWho is it for?\nThe programme will suit early-stage entrepreneurship educators and those established educators looking for new ideas\, resources and opportunity to network. The programme will also suit staff who support students in entrepreneurial learning and endeavours. Participants will also have the option to be part of a growing network of entrepreneurship educators. \nWhat is involved?\nThe course is online and is built around a series of videos\, solo and group activities\, a selection of academic and grey literature reading materials\, and facilitated group activities\, discussions\, and reflections.
