New Teaching Materials for DE Educators Now Available

by Bill Aulet

We open-source all that we do at MIT for teaching Disciplined Entrepreneurship under a Creative Common licensing understanding — and this has proven very popular. I always felt bad that I had not documented it as well as it could be. I also wished I could update the materials I use in class and make them clearer and more complete. This was not as easy as I had hoped as other priorities always nudged it out of the things that actually got done.

Pushed by my friends at Purdue, led by Professor Nathalie Duval-Couetil, I spent a good deal of time at the end of the semester this spring and this summer finally getting to this task. I have cleaned up and put together a new and much more comprehensive release of my teaching materials. It not only has the most current material I use at MIT to teach Disciplined Entrepreneurship but it is also much better documented. It covers a bit more than the 24 Steps in the book (but not much more because we have only one semester) making it a very strong introduction to a “becoming an entrepreneur” course. It is not about entrepreneurship but rather it teaches the students what it is to become an entrepreneur through an experiential, “action learning,” project-based (I think all of these terms mean the same thing so chose whichever suits you best) curriculum.
