Course objectives
The Creative Tools and Techniques for Academic Learning course offers you a truly creative and unique experience. The course will help you to gain a practical insight into how to apply creative theories to your teaching, how to develop and adjust creative materials from in person to hybrid and online or vice-versa and how to foster creativity in your students and help them become actively engaged co-authors of their own learning.
Syllabus
  • The Creative Tools and Techniques for Academic Learning workshops are highly experiential, requiring everybody to participate in individual and group activities. The programme includes topics such as: • What are creative situations? • Who can be creative? • Which processes in teaching and learning are creative? • Which creativity theories can be useful for teaching? • How to work with barriers to creativity in in-person, hybrid and online settings? • How to use authentic materials in in-person, hybrid and online settings? • How to make students more engaged in their learning in in-person, hybrid and online settings? • How to organise creative courses in in-person, hybrid and online settings? • How to deal with activities focused on individual areas in in-person, hybrid and online settings? • What is creative feedback and assessment?
Teaching methods
Your days will consist of interactive and highly practical workshops focusing on topics such as creative theories, creative situations, creative processes and barriers to creativity. You will be presented with examples of creative activities successfully implemented in teaching at universities and in Higher Education institutions and provided with an opportunity to develop an understanding of ways to improve your own teaching in a creative way. In three distinct sessions each day, you will also have a chance to interact, discuss, practise and reflect on your teaching practice with your colleagues.
