Creativity

In this issue of the newsletter the video and resources address the topic of creativity. My own feeling is that while there are no rules or methods for creativity - each person does what works best for them - it is nonetheless the case that creativity arises out of the practice of experience, and that there are common literacies (which I call 'critical literacies') that help us recognize new possibilities and new insights.

Task

Create Your Experience

Be creative! Using the medium of your choice, create a representation of your experience of E-Learning 3.0. Then post your creation (or post a link to your creation) on your blog.

Here's a good example of the sort of thing you could create, by Kevin Hodgeson (who apparently also studied mind reading as he completed this Task before it was posted).

If you need inspiration, visit the DS106 Assignment Bank and select one of the assignments, and then interpret it in the light of E-Learning 3.0.

The World Beyond the Word Dec 13, 2018 video Visit this page for both slides and video. In order to manage the deluge of data produced by modern technology, a rapidly changing society, and challenging environmental and economic systems, we need to relearn what we understand as social and scientific literacy. The students of today and the innovators of tomorrow will speak languages we barely recognize today. What are the fundamentals of these new literacies, how do we learn them and teach them, and how do they redefine innovation in the future? In this talk I describe a future in which learning is a creative act and give an overview of the environments and technologies that will be needed to support this learning.
