Pedagogy – Creativity and
Enterprise Skills
Norman Jackson
“The world needs people who can combine their thinking, knowledge,
capabilities and values in imaginative ways to work with complexity, create
wealth and prosperity, tackle intractable social and environmental problems,
enrich cultures, and enhance their own wellbeing. Universities have a vital role
to play in creating more creative societies…”
There is a challenge to HE to create pedagogies to
stimulate creative development.
Creative Pedagogies
● Understand the nature of creativity in the discipline
● Activities to engage learners with the unfamiliar,
complex, perplexing
● Take risks without excessive penalties
● Reflection on students’ own creativity to reinforce
learning and aid in assessment.
Creating higher order learning
A graduate’s perspective
● Useful information skills
○ Screencasts, Google Sites, presentation skills, audio and
video recording and production and other embedded web
tools
● Web development and content writing for the web
○ Fed directly into my graduate role in which I built a new
staff resource website
● Project management
○ Seeing a large scale piece of work from beginning to end
and meeting deadlines in a way not previously
experienced.
A graduate’s perspective
● Working in a team, within a wider group
○ Communication across teams who all have stakes in the
project is very applicable to working environments
● Insight into University goals and branding
○ Brief introduction to the workings of the University from
the inside; interesting to a student and also a good
starting point for going into Student Services!
● No training necessary
○ Intuitive tools, and utilised technology which was already
familiar
● Enjoyable and memorable experience!
Activity
● Work in small groups (3-5)
● Think of an area of your teaching/teaching you support
where students could create open-access learning
resources
● Capture your ideas in a Google Site.
