SEDA/SEDA301/Overview

Welcome
Hi everyone and welcome to SEDA301 - Social Entrepreneurship in the Digital Age. We're thrilled to have you on-board and we hope that you enjoy the learning and insights the micro course will provide.

Introduction to the Course
The fast-paced development of new digital technologies provides powerful resources for addressing today’s social and environmental challenges. Combining the perspectives of business entrepreneurship, regional science and information systems, this Micro Course will uncover the potential of digitally connected social entrepreneurship as an agile and exciting vehicle for creating positive social and environmental change.

This course will provide students with a dynamic suite of online resources and activities to develop the knowledge and skills required to become agents for positive social change. By identifying an issue of significance within their local, national or global communities, students will develop and “pitch” their own socially entrepreneurial initiative. To achieve this, students will assess the strengths of a number of resources and tools that may be utilised by social entrepreneurs, including Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
