Open Entrepreneurship (Openeurship)- The 1st Open Entrepreneurship online course based on open learning content

Our course is based on the Open Learning Content philosophy, combined with the experience of our active-participation Entrepreneurship course.

Qualitative Open Learning Content

We made a collection of the most interesting videos of famous qualified entrepreneurs and highly qualified academics. You will get the chance to learn via an entertaining multimedia experience, consisted of easily accessible videos, scientific papers and peer review feedback

Individual and Collaborative Assignments

The Open Learning Content based lectures will be complemented by weekly Assignments, carried on at the beginning in an individual basis and later on within the formation of virtual study groups. The reason for this is that you will significantly increases your probability and capability of success by gaining experience in developing and managing synergies. Moreover, working remotely in virtual teams is one of the constantly rising challenges in the modern, internet supported economy. Let us develop your team building skills and maybe form your future startup.

Using Google Hangouts

Google Hangouts is a modern, easy to use, free tool. As virtual presence is an important part of our course, by integrating its functions to our class, it will enable us to directly communicate via teleconferencing and the exchanging of online data files (e.g. assignments).

‘Get Out of the Building’ and deal with uncertainty

This is one of the most important advice that serial entrepreneurs always give. For Entrepreneurship is not just about taking risks, but also a mean of searching and gathering information from an unknown business environment in order for you to refine or even change your basic ideas into products and services that customers will love

Work on Real Ideas

Learning is most effective when you get the chance to directly apply your theoretical knowledge into the real world. That is exactly the reason why half of the weekly assignments are related to your existing ideas, or the ones that you create during the course with our support. You might be afraid that someone could probably steal your idea, but from our year-long experience, we can assure you that another colleague in the course will have a very similar one.

Co - Create the Future Course

Technology is rapidly changing and information is increasingly growing in a pace faster than ever before, as well as knowledge and presentation-style do! Thus we are asking you to comment and rate the videos and make recommendations for new Open Learning Content and further topics. As reward you will get some extra points on your final grade.
