Hi everyone,

Thanks for your presentations on Monday, I had a great time hearing about your projects.

Next week, we have been so lucky to get Dougald Hine to come and speak to us. We've posted readings and two shorter TED talks for you to watch, find it under the "Literature" tab, and "Module 3".

Remember to write you individual reflection on the change project by Friday May 22nd. Instructions are under the "Examination" tab.

Best,

Ingrid & Alexis

Hi folks!

Exciting to take part of your ideation processes today, and we're very much looking forward to hearing about your prototype testing during the presentations next monday. Remember to be inqusitive about everything. This project is really about getting a sense of implementation and scaling of projects, learning from both your own process and from the efforts of your peers.

Under the tab IDEO Worshop Guides on this page you'll find the guides we've been using during the workprocess (Part I from April 27th and Part II from May 4th). You'll also find more extensive workshop and reading material from IDEO. Might be useful as a source of inspiration and support during the week.

Good luck and have fun!

All the best

Hi everyone, hope your Easter was great.

Don't forget the opportunity to meet and get some input on how to move forward with your Examination Task II tomorrow. You can get help on formulating your research question and hopefully some literature tips from me and your peers. Hope to see many of you there!
We meet in the CEMUS Library (maybe we'll be sitting in the course coordinator work lounge), the time is 10.15-12.00.

Best,
Ingrid

Please let us know if you want to go ahead with lobbying for something like this at Uppsala University - just contact Ingrid directly and she can link you up with some people - or universities in your home countries - relevant for exchange students. Also feel free to spread the news among students and staff that you know who might be interested in the model. For any questions you can also just email Felix: felix.spira@rootability.com"

Hi everyone!

Thanks for today everyone - was great to see you collaborating in the LEGO game... Now, some important information:

1. Tomorrow: Lecture with Sean Westcott is in Norrland I (at Geocentrum) tomorrow, 11.15 - 13.00. NB! Note change of classroom!
2. Need help with formulating your research question or pointers on where to find literature for examination task II? Or maybe some inspiration on how to write a good research paper? On Wednesday, April 8th, 10.15-12.00 at CEMUS, we'll have a meet-up where we can discuss these issues. Welcome!

IMPORTANT info about Workshop on April 20th: Bring a draft of your examination task II paper to the workshop on April 20th. Don't worry if it's not perfect - the idea is to help each other improve. Your paper does not have to be finished, but it needs to be coherent so that somebody else can read it. More instructions on this will come when we're closer to the workshop.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask us.

Hi everyone!

Remember that the next few sessions of the course we will have field trip presentations after the lectures, so the classes will last until 20.00. Please plan for this! (Bring an extra snack 🙂 )

Felix and Tobias (the presenters for next week) will be joining us for dinner after the course on Monday, and it would be great if you would like to come. I have booked some tables at V-dala for us.

Now it's the weekend - a great time to think about your research question for Task II! This is your chance to deepen your knowledge in your area of interest, so don't leave it to the last minute.

Happy weekend,

ingrid & Alexis
