This course was great! I learned a lot through discussion and project submissions. I have not only learned how to create change in my community but I have taken the first steps to make it a reality.

This course on its own is definitely a changemaker and I'm honoured to have taken part in the lessons which are provided for to develop ourselves, and to never limit our capabilities. Thank you

It was important in helping students navigate through their ideas through problem-solving and critical thinking skills amongst others. It also broaden ideas to impacting change in the world.

I didn't know that my mind was capable of thinking as the mind of a change maker until I took this course. This course will help streamline your thought process in trying to solve a problem.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The material was easy to understand and well presented. Thank you Coursera!

I really like the journey of my this course. Learnt practically too by attempting all the assignments

WELL THIS COURSE IS MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE

This course has been instrumental in making me develop confidence that I can also become a changemaker and small steps at a time is all that is needed to start. The course has shown me all the various dimensions to what is involved and how to go about bringing change. The Rlabs case study was a very good one in which the most important thing that struck me was that you don't need to have professional degrees or money or positions of power or position in society, to effect change, it is all in your mind. Use whatever resources are available and start dealing with the problem and brainstorm on how to bring about change. Thanks very much for creating this course and a special thanks to all other participants for posting their unique problems and solutions, it helps to understand that essentially people are grappling with almost similar problems, no matter in whichever part of the world we live in, and it is the forging of human bonds which will help us triumph over every single problem!!!

The course was very well presented and delivered. It gave me a solid foundation of what a social innovation is and what it an achieve. I love the fact that the were sections during the week that allowed for a reflection of what the week lesson was about. The practical tools that were given to the stoods to help them develop their own ideas was also very helpful. The content was relevant and fresh which made the whole course easy to digest. The peer reviews also gave the students a fair chance to develop their own work while helping others inform and guide their work too. Most importantly, the course gave students the flexibility to work in their own time which was innovative in itself as it brought the classroom into our homes while giving the opportunity to work in at our own pace. I absolutely loved the course and would definitely recommend it.

Quite an inspirational course. The knowledge seem very obvious but they do make you question a lot of things about how organizations work and how you can create something with social impact. They'll lead you through key concepts like design thinking, the 5 why's, identifying hidden resources, etc. The deep analysis of the R-labs case was a bit annoying for me at first, because I wanted to learn the concepts first, but I quickly realized how their experiences enriched the rest of the content and made me ponder about my own innovation. Recommended for anyone starting in this world, although it might be a bit too basic for people who already has experience with social innovation.

This course is amazing in combining theory-based approaches with practical thinking and tools which can be applied easily to a broad variety of complex problems. It offers a broad range of useful readings and the opportunity to discuss questions and issues with other students online. Being well familiar with beeing graded at school and university I like the free approach because it trusts that students want to learn, that cooperation contributes to learning and that learning is about compassion. The course also connects theory with individual motivation and making concrete steps. I deeply appreciate this offer and am thankful that I have found it.

This course was fantastic!! What I loved most about it was that the course was client-focused. I had an idea, and their course helped me to develop and improve the idea so that I can positively affect my community. It was a class where I wanted to get all the ideas down because they were so innovative. I love how there was one main case study, R Labs, and how we were able to learn about their challenges and how they managed to successfully impact their community. The professors were great, they had an abundance of knowledge and I learned so much from them. Well done!
