This pilot introduces and tests the CYANOTYPES competence Digital Content Co-Creation within a course at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Using the CYANOTYPES learning plan for this competence as its backbone, the course translates a framework element from the Data-Driven Agency cluster into a concrete higher-education setting, giving students an opportunity to work explicitly on digital content co-creation as a competence.
Student feedback showed that the topic is highly relevant. The pilot shows that Digital Content Co-Creation can be taught as a clear, competence-based course within the existing university structure and offers a concrete example of how CYANOTYPES materials can be used in practice.
