Period IV
Thursdays 8.00-14.00

At some point, on some weeks, our slots may be used for team work without teacher-driven sessions.

Exam schedules

No exam.

Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation is based on individual work and teamwork, and will be completed with numeric evaluation. We use teachers' evaluation, self- and peer reflection, and commissioner's evaluation. Assessment is based on the process and end result of the team process. Also, there will be some individual assignments that play a role in the overall grading.
The evaluation will lean on three angles of assessment: knowing (information search, theoretical understanding etc.) - doing (applying theory, use of development methods etc.) - being (self-leadership, participation in teamwork, reflection etc.).

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

The study unit in principle builds on a multi-disciplinary, cross-sectoral process where hospitality management students and social services students work together in teams around a topical service development project.
Pedagogically, different learning methods and techniques will be used ranging from teacher-driven inspirational lectures to interactive exercises, dialogue, and excursion visits to team work and individual work.

Learning materials

Articles and other material in Moodle; material tipped by the coaches; material searched and acquired by students. The pre-assignment includes a cavalcade of articles etc. related to the topic at hand.

Student workload

10 credits equals 267 h of student's work. The workload is tackled as individual and team work, and via joint learning sessions at the campus. On a weekly basis, as this covers about a third of the Spring semester's objectives (10/30 ECTS), students should prepare to work around the study unit topics, project and assignments for about 1-2 work days per week. On a weekly basis, in the time table there are 2 x 2,5 hours in the period 3, and 2,5 hours + 3,5 hours in the period 4. As the study unit lasts about 16 weeks, that is, 15 weeks without the so called project week (Spring break on week 9), this means 35 hours + 56 hours = 91 hours. So, joint sessions cover less than half of the study unit's workload. This calls for individual and team work along with good time management and commitment.

Content scheduling

Possibilities of service innovation in global sustainability and well-being as a topic deals with sustainability, circular economy, well-being, and cross-sectoral ways of working. Students get to learn about eco-social wellbeing, education and civilization. Also, new ways of organizing for and provision of services as public-private partnership, and partnerships between sectors (incl. the 3rd sector and the 4th sector, civil society activism) will be discussed.
Service development work will also draw from gamification, storification and storytelling, and experientialism - how to enhance services towards experience economy, transformation economy, and the new relationship between individualism and sense of community.

The students will learn to combine the assets of people with different backgrounds, and skills, and add value in cross-sectoral, multicultural team-based problem solving. Diversity and multi-culturalism are discussed from a synergetic angle to deal with wicked problems related to sustainability. Also, opportunities surrounding circular economy are introduced and studied.

Completion alternatives

No alternative ways of completion.

Exam schedules

No exam.

Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation is based on individual work and teamwork, and will be completed with numeric evaluation. We use teachers' evaluation, self- and peer reflection, and commissioner's evaluation. Assessment is based on the process and end result of the team process. Also, there will be some individual assignments that play a role in the overall grading.
The evaluation will lean on three angles of assessment: knowing (information search, theoretical understanding etc.) - doing (applying theory, use of development methods etc.) - being (self-leadership, participation in teamwork, reflection etc.).

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

The study unit in principle builds on a multi-disciplinary, cross-sectoral process where hospitality management students and social services students work together in teams around a topical service development project.
Pedagogically, different learning methods and techniques will be used ranging from teacher-driven inspirational lectures to interactive exercises, dialogue, and excursion visits to team work and individual work.

Learning materials

Articles and other material in Moodle; material tipped by the coaches; material searched and acquired by students. The pre-assignment includes a cavalcade of articles etc. related to the topic at hand.

Student workload

10 credits equals 267 h of student's work. The workload is tackled as individual and team work, and via joint learning sessions at the campus. On a weekly basis, as this covers about a third of the Spring semester's objectives (10/30 ECTS), students should prepare to work around the study unit topics, project and assignments for about 1-2 work days per week. On a weekly basis, in the time table there are 2 x 2,5 hours in the period 3, and 2,5 hours + 3,5 hours in the period 4. As the study unit lasts about 16 weeks, that is, 15 weeks without the so called project week (Spring break on week 9), this means 35 hours + 56 hours = 91 hours. So, joint sessions cover less than half of the study unit's workload. This calls for individual and team work along with good time management and commitment.

Content scheduling

Possibilities of service innovation in global sustainability and well-being as a topic deals with sustainability, circular economy, well-being, and cross-sectoral ways of working. Students get to learn about eco-social wellbeing, education and civilization. Also, new ways of organizing for and provision of services as public-private partnership, and partnerships between sectors (incl. the 3rd sector and the 4th sector, civil society activism) will be discussed.
Service development work will also draw from gamification, storification and storytelling, and experientialism - how to enhance services towards experience economy, transformation economy, and the new relationship between individualism and sense of community.

The students will learn to combine the assets of people with different backgrounds, and skills, and add value in cross-sectoral, multicultural team-based problem solving. Diversity and multi-culturalism are discussed from a synergetic angle to deal with wicked problems related to sustainability. Also, opportunities surrounding circular economy are introduced and studied.
