This pilot introduces and evaluates the CYANOTYPES competence “Digital Content Co-Creation” within a 2 ECTS interdisciplinary course at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It aims to equip students with practical skills in collaborative digital production, combining technological fluency with ethical awareness and creative agility.
The course will serve as a testbed for embedding transversal skills into a structured, short-format learning unit. Through hands-on workshops, group projects, and peer reflection, the pilot will generate a validated teaching model, complete with assessment materials and student outputs. These results will inform broader curriculum development efforts and contribute to scaling digital co-creation as a recognised, competence-based component of creative education.
