Up to now, all the graduate courses were planned and executed as a group experience on site at the bbw-premises. We even managed to get a room especially equipped for the use of all kind of stickers and sheets and walls that could be used for text-notes and scribbles.
Since the start in 2017 all sessions were documented and monitored on this site. Here you can refer to these classes:

Qualification objectives & content topics
An introduction to definitions and concepts of creativity: It explores what creativity is and reflects methods of innovation with concepts of taste, consumer needs and the user interface.
Underlying principles are the corporate social responsibility of a company within ethics.Students will be able to analyze complex situations of interdisciplinary problems. They will develop creative solutions and evaluate them critically. They will adequately implement the solutions in practice and estimate the implementation in practice. Objective: critical, analytical and creative thinking, problem solving and transfer skills
Innovating: exploring - designing – embedding. Students learn different innovation theories and methods - for example, improvised, intuitive or routinized approaches and in the context of organizations in its various dimensions.
The application of the innovation helix (Krusche & Zillner) „Exploring, Designing and Embedding“ is enriched with many intermediate steps and tools.
Elements come from the various creative sectors different examples singled out (as Scrum) and compared in scope.• Status quo of Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI): Cultural theory – economic theory
•National cultural and creative economy reports: Trans sectorial and sub-sector specific elements
• Environmental analysis and external factors, political factors, market perspectives
• Transversal analysis: Contracts between art and commerce
• Cluster strategies and specificities: The rise of the creative class
• New creative industries: Share economy, Internet of things, Convergence of media
• User perspective, Feasibility studies
How to get started
We will start right away with using Videoconferencing-Tools. We have had a longer trial period using a free Webex personal account as well as many others. To be well-prepared an own blog-note was written about this subject and published - in German - on March, 20th 2020 with the title: Videokonferenz: Sie sehen sich... und wer die Daten?.
Since the end of March and after a whole week of training-sessions the official bbw-account for distance-learning was supposed to be launched asap. but this Saturday will be too early for a start.
Be assured that the next session planned for Saturday April 18th will be the starting-session with your personal login on
– > https://bbw-hochschule.webex.com/]
If there is any interest, we can run some trials before April 18th on Friday at (high:-) noon 12 am. up to 1 pm. [1].
Up to that moment the personal pre-installed account will be deleted [2]
To do’s and don’t do’s
If you can, use a Laptop or a desktop-Computer instead of a smartphone.
These sessions will be long and not always easy to handle and to cope with.
This means
– you should have made some tests how to use this tool and some features
– you should have made some tests using your own software, already built in your computer [3]
– Do test the sound with some of your folks and find out the best position for your mike, or - even better - do use headset with a mike incorporated
– When you test the camera, be aware of your position and the lighting. Here is an example how it should n o t look like:
