Leaving Space for Creativity
Webinar participants explore various approaches, tools, and prompts for designing assignments that emphasize or encourage creativity in an online setting. When students are able to share some aspect of themselves, or have the space, permission, and confidence to create something that has personal meaning, they retain the information longer, are more excited about the topic, and gain the confidence to be creative in other aspects of their lives. Participants are provided with the opportunity to share personal stories, anecdotes, and questions.
Learning Outcomes:
- Participants learn how to reward creativity.
- Participants learn the advantages of cultivating creativity.

Good presentation.
I pick up some good pointers.
Thank you for the ideas and examples. I plan to start small and introduce one creative assignment into each of my classes during the Spring semester.
