Inhoud

Content 

In the IWP (Innovation workplace project) students work within a team on an open challenge provided by a client. The student will answer a question, opportunity, and/or design challenge in the context of innovation, interactivity, and technology. The project implies a design-oriented research cycle using the double-diamond design framework. The foundation will be formed by input from the client, stakeholders, target audience, coaches, and experts. Students are encouraged to get to know new contexts and domains, and will also explore and learn to understand other roles and interests. 

The IWP focus is to prepare students for the graduation assignment. The learning challenge focuses on moving out of your comfort zone and still being capable of learning how to interact in a new (changing) environment/challenge. 

Acquired knowledge is applied and incorporated into delivering a development portfolio where students provide evidence and reflect on the work they have done. The portfolio evidence will be defended in an individual competency-based interview.
