Creativity is key concept in media education and the media industries, however it is an extremely difficult term to define: is it a skill? A state of mind? A type of intelligence? Increasingly, creativity is becoming a key component of government economic policy, but is this just rhetoric? As learning becomes more creative and as creative activities increasingly form parts of curricula, the Centre seeks to contribute to a conversation about creativity’s place in learning experiences. Creativity means different things in different contexts and making sense of creativity: how are we to value and assess this creative work?
Recent doctoral research by Mark Readman seeks to find answers to these questions. Mark has presented at conferences in the UK and has written about his work for the Art, Design and Media subject area for the Higher Education Academy.
