Abstract: This symposium addresses issues of the kinds of technology-mediated contexts that support creativity. An additional theme is that of how the idea of failure can prompt the creative process. Presenters in this symposium will describe the theoretical, and pragmatic ways in which creativity can be supported and nurtured. A range of presenters will speak to multiple contexts such as, graduate level courses, digital fabrications, learning on the web, attentional failure, along with other issues, to build a richly nuanced perspective on creativity, failure, and the role of technology.
