Share Paper: Teachers Integrating Design Principles: Promoting Creativity in the Instructional Design Process

1. Jonathan McKeown, University of Tampa, United States

Abstract: When practitioners and academics discuss instructional design to novice designers or those outside the field, the discussion typically centers on models of design and a systems process or method. While the importance of creativity is emphasized in learning design, it rarely is addressed in the design of instruction. This paper discusses lessons that can be learned about creativity from the fields of performing and visual arts and the potential impact on instructional design.
