What is a 21C Curiosity Pod?
Curiosity Pods (typically 15 to 30 hours of student learning effort) are designed as bite sized learning available to all students regardless of the course they are enrolled in.
Curiosity Pods:
- have no pre-requisites beyond those expected for university study;
- are co-created with industry, community and student partners; and
- engage students in exciting, relevant and authentic learning.
When you successfully complete a Curiosity Pod, you are provided with a record of your achievement – for example, a digital badge containing details of the learning activity – which can be added to your LinkedIn Profile.
Typically, Curiosity Pods can also be counted as a learning activity in a designated unit, where they support students to achieve the learning outcomes of that unit.
The University aims to offer a suite of Curiosity Pods each session. On offer so far in Autumn are:
