Recognising Students' Creativity through a Lifewide Curriculum

Creativity as an outcome of higher education is often more by accident then design. All too often curricular designs and assessment requirements ignore or inhibit students’ creative development and self-expression. The will to be creative usually stems from a deep intrinsic motivation inspired by the personal choices people are able to make. Perhaps if we viewed the curriculum from the perspective of the learner as the designer of their own life experience, we would have more chance of embracing, supporting and recognising their creative will and enterprise. The presentation will explore the idea of a life-wide curriculum as a way of embracing, recognising and valuing students’ creativity.
