Landscape Canvas Reflection

Through assessment we have found that our student body lacks the spaces and tools to fully flourish. The student feel that the teaching methods are dated and lack luster, while staff state that they lack the proper tools to engage students. Based on surveying we have found that the university does promote I&E but it is not broadly recognized and severely restricted to the school of business on campus. The university staff have noted that their departments discuss the possible monetization of research but impress greater focus on creating curriculums for the student that maintain the status-quo of the university. Staff members display s mixed desire to adapt to new technologies unless proven to be essential to their performance or can visibly alter it for the better. The office in the process of creating the systems for IP Office, the University based on observation invest more into the act of education and preparing professionals for established fields as opposed to disruptive innovation.
