ASSIGNMENT #1: Environmental OR Venture Analysis<\/h3>\n

Submit a thorough environmental analysis\u00a0OR\u00a0a venture\u00a0analysis of a specific learning technology market or venture of particular\u00a0interest to you. For example, your subject could be a company (large\u00a0or small), a program within a school district, an initiative on a\u00a0campus, or a project within a company, a set of campuses, a regional\u00a0group of companies, or any relevant (to you) segment or cross-section\u00a0of the market CUBE introduced in Module 3.\u00a0 An “environmental analysis” is simply a compound venture analysis – there are likely several or many entities involved in the analysis.\u00a0 One way to understand the intent of A1 is imagine that you’ve got a friend who wishes to invest $1 million in a certain learning technologies market segment or a specific company, and they’d like your expert recommendation (environmental analysis or venture analysis, respectively) about whether this is a good idea.\u00a0 This submission may be\u00a0a standard written paper or an equivalently compelling expression\u00a0of your work in a medium or media of your choice. For this assignment\u00a0you could also capture and analyze a “pitch” from someone\u00a0central to the subject of your study. Consult your instructors if\u00a0in doubt.<\/p>\n

Assignment #2: Emerging Market Analysis<\/h3>\n

Each week or Module during Phase 2 covers a separate emerging market,\u00a0and we will commission small groups of students to work together\u00a0to design and deliver an engaging online interactive experience for\u00a0the whole class for each of the separate weeks covering Modules 4-11.<\/p>\n

You will be notified by the end of the first week which Module you\u00a0have been assigned to, and which of your peers will be your Market\u00a0Team in looking after your week.<\/p>\n

25% of total (1\/5 based on peer assessment)\u00a0– first\u00a0group on stage during week 5 and in each week following between Unit\u00a04 and Unit 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phase 3 – Launch<\/h3>\n

This final phase is designed to be a true culminating\u00a0experience – an opportunity to position yourself in the driver’s seat of\u00a0a venture of you choice, and see how your powers of persuasion stand up\u00a0in an \u2018open market’ of similar pitches from your peers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
MODULE 12:<\/span><\/td>\n Venture Forum
\nPitching an idea<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Assignment #3: Venture Pitch
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

Applying your start-up skills and research savvy, provide a compelling\u00a0pitch that champions the future of a real-world venture. Your venture\u00a0can be an existing enterprise where you role-play what you would\u00a0do if you were in charge, or it can be an imagined initiative or\u00a0enterprise that you would like to create. Remember that friend with $1 million we used as an example in A1?\u00a0 Now you’re trying to convince them to invest in your venture!\u00a0 Your pitch can be an\u00a0essay, a PowerPoint, a video suitable for our “Pitch Pool”,\u00a0or other compelling expression of your choice (consult with your\u00a0instructors if in doubt). Your objective is to be credible, well\u00a0researched, and very convincing to your instructors and peers. \u00a0Please remember that we’re looking for a pitch that focuses on persuading investors about your venture, not a pitch that convinces customers to buy your product or service.<\/span><\/p>\n
