CFA The Creative Futures Academy (details here ) provides opportunities for postgraduate students and professionals to undertake focused learning, usually in concentrated or short format courses and often scheduled in ways that allow part time study to be combined flexibly with professional practice. The Professional Certificate in Design for Transformation will be offered to prospective learners in 2024. Design for Transformation The Design for Transformation course seeks to enable learners to explore the capacity of design as a critical and collaborative agent of social, cultural and economic change. The course seeks to position design as a creative forum for exploring a dynamic, changing world full of critical, contradictory and provocative ideas. It asks participants to consider the potential impact of design on a range of contemporary commercial, social and cultural issues. Equal emphasis is placed on critical thinking and critical making. Participants explore speculative, fictional, discursive and impact-led design methodologies, equipping them with the skills required to provoke meaningful change. This course engages in structured, experimental learning through thematic Design Research Labs, which provide a petri dish for problem exploration through radical interpretations of a design studio. Learners examine the role of the designer in the 21stcentury in relation to critical issues, to incubate and grow their own concepts. The course engages a combination of faculty, industry and external stakeholders in the delivery of projects that aim to test understanding of a preferable future. The Delivery The CFA is looking for applications to deliver the content of the Professional Certificate in Design for Transformation. The Delivery is broken down into the following elements: Curriculum design - the preparation of teaching materials. This will include summary outlines of briefs / lectures / seminars / workshops; reading lists and/or other useful resources which can be shared with learners both before and after the course runs; proposals of guest speakers; technical and specialist training exercises as well as expected deliverables / assignments to be completed at the end of the module. Authorship of publicity texts and sourcing visual material which can be used to promote the Professional Diploma using the CFA’s communication channels. Visual material will need to be copyright free / cleared. Teaching – 20 contact hours Assessment and administration - 15 hours Adapting existing module specs – 10 hours This work (research and curriculum content) needs to be completed and delivered following an agreed schedule. Course format The 5-credit course content to be delivered to12-25 learners. It will be delivered in a range of potential formats including - fully onsite learning; - remotely in which learners can fully participate at a distance; - and in a hybrid format combining onsite and distant learners (considering opportunities such as the currently ‘fallow’ third trimester for residencies and short intensives) Active learning and collaborative peer learning are strongly encouraged to reflect the professional experience and ambitions of CFA learners. Each module may include one or two high profile guest speakers but we expect that the majority of the content to be taught and coordinated by a lead tutor or team of tutors. The NCAD / CFA Academic Development Group will provide a series of templates which will provide different possible learning formats (such as an intensive one- or two-week workshop, two-day symposium or a weekly 3-hour class etc). The person/s undertaking this work will also be supported by a member of the NCAD / CFA Academic Development Group who can provide support during the delivery of the course. Expected learner profile Current students registered at NCAD or other HEIs, designers, makers, educators and possibly other professionals working in the creative industries. While CFA courses are professional learning opportunities, learners will not need to demonstrate high levels of professional / academic achievement at the time of application. Some learners may undertake CFA learning as a means of ongoing professional development, often with the support of their employers.
