Education & Learning Innovation

About

The ability to create new learning value (knowledge artefacts, resources, and experiences), share and recognise it openly and accessibly, and use data/AI responsibly to deepen impact—in educational, community, and interdisciplinary contexts, and, when appropriate, in collaboration with qualified professionals. This competence strengthens student agency and transformative capabilities (creating new value, taking responsibility, reconciling tensions) relevant to both society and the labour market.
