Mini-Fest on Student Engagement
and Co-Design

Creativity and play can play an important role in facilitating effective student engagement.  Learning activities need to trigger student creativity, and use appropriate blended approaches that urge students to be creative and, importantly, provide opportunities for students to demonstrate that creativity (Beghetto and Kanfman, 2013). The aims of this session is to help colleagues appreciate what ABL looks like when used innovatively to support creative practice.   Underpinned by a modicum of pedagogic theory, the session will provide a number of 'recipe ideas' to demonstrate opportunities presented by software such as Padlet and H5P, amongst others, for synchronous and asynchronous delivery.  If you need a creative solution then please bring details along and the presenters will try and provide some creative suggestions!

Session Aims

The aims of this session are to:

• To consider the pedagogic underpinning of creativity

• To explore the potential ingredients that can be blended to create innovative and engaging approaches to creativity

• To illustrate how digital spaces can be used as a platform for creative synchronous and asynchronous delivery
