About the Course

Institutional Innovation Ecosystems and GenAI provides a comprehensive roadmap for designing, scaling, and sustaining innovation across higher education. Rather than treating innovation as isolated pilots or siloed projects, this course helps institutions build whole-system frameworks that integrate GenAI into strategy, governance, culture, and daily practice. You will explore innovation typologies, design cross-campus ecosystems, develop AI-powered toolkits, and understand how to measure and govern innovation responsibly. Each module combines practical methodologies—design thinking, agile sprints, feedback loops—with AI-enhanced techniques that accelerate ideation, prototyping, strategic alignment, and evidence gathering. Whether you work in digital education, learning design, academic leadership, research innovation, or organisational development, this course equips you with actionable models, templates, and GenAI-optimised workflows to activate innovation at scale. By the end, you will be able to cultivate an innovation-positive culture, support staff and students, align experimentation with institutional goals, and build an ecosystem capable of continuous, ethical, future-ready transformation.
