You will create a visual representation of the above (a Digital Vision Board) in a PPT slide, Canva, Miro, or similar

Step 1: Task Understanding

Read the Instructions and Task Details carefully.

Review the Checklist: Digital Vision Board to familiarise yourself with the key principles of creating your academic reflection.

Step 2: Purpose Statement

What program are you enrolled in?

What do you hope to achieve by undertaking this degree?

Step 3: Global Challenge
Please make sure to take the Global Citizenship micro-credential on or before 26th of May. This component is pass/fail, will be graded, and you only have 2 attempts to pass.

Step 4: Majors and Minors

Review the key insights you found about yourself in Step 2 and 3

Identify 2 majors and 2 minors, within your degree program, that are likely to teach you the skills needed to engage with the Global Citizenship goals you identified.

Identify the reasons why these majors and minors interest you.

Explore other RMIT programs that could enhance your learning (e.g., Global Experience, Study in Vietnam or Singapore, Study in Europe or North America).

Write about this in around 200 words.

Step 5: Reflections
This should be a summary paragraph based on your weekly reflections. Do not copy-paste the weekly reflections here - they are too long.

Review your weekly reflection entries.

Choose four (4) topics that engaged you the most.

Summarise your 4 chosen weekly reflections into one paragraph each (around 150 words each).

Step 8: Review

When you have completed the required components, review your work carefully for spelling, grammar or other errors.

Assessment Brief: Overview

Learning Outcome 1: Self-reflect and begin to identify personal strengths, cultivate ethical behaviours, and a develop an emerging global mindset so as to develop a professional identity

Learning Outcome 2: Explain their role as a local, national and global citizen and be able to apply these perspectives in business contexts.

Learning Outcome 3: Reflect on and continuously progress their own professional development, enhancing their intellectual agility and adaptability as tools for success in ever-changing business contexts.

At this stage in the course, you have been exploring global challenges and you have unpacked how businesses can develop solutions in response. Now is your opportunity to reflect on how you can develop yourself through the Bachelor of Business degree to help meet these and future challenges.

In this final assessment, you are required to explore where you are now in your academic journey, which global challenges align with your strengths and leadership styles, and how you will shape your Bachelor of Business program to enable you to meet those challenges.

This assignment is a place where you can reflect on your purpose in choosing this degree, and understand your role as a global citizen. Reflecting on the modules you have completed in this course so far, will then inform the types of social, political, economic or environmental issues that interest you. Based on these interests, you will then plan a pathway for your Bachelor of Business (or other degree program of your choice) that will help prepare you to meet these future challenges. Please make sure to reference academic sources from the course reading list that interested you along the way.

You will revisit this Reflection piece of Vision Board during the Capstone Course, at the end of your degree program to understand how your interests have developed over time.

This assessment will measure your:

Depth of self engagement with the task: Demonstrate an insightful, complex, and multi-faceted understanding of yourself on the digital vision board, paying attention to requirements of the task.
Use of evidence and examples: Use specific and convincing examples and evidence to support claims made in the digital vision board. This includes academic references from the Reading List.
Critical analysis and self-awareness: Begin to use critical analytical, instead of descriptive, language to analyse your learning experiences to reveal insights well beyond the obvious or predictable.
Style and structure: Digital vision board has a clear and appropriate structure that includes all required sections, elements and information.
