Un-defining creative learning.
An on-going, open
document.
A collection of
comments and ideas about creative learning collected through conversations with
art/education practitioners.
'As we look into creative learning we find more and more definitions and possible answers. The core of creative learning seems to include ideas about learner centred learning, choice, open-endedness and allowing participants to discover knowledge in ways that suit them.
With this in mind we have produced 'un-defining creative learning' a document, blog and set of objects that allow people to access our research and add their ideas to it.
As you read each page of this blog, please feel free to add ideas, info and reference points in the comments section at the bottom or each page.'
