CREATE Centre Webinar

Date: 31 August 4.00-5.15

Presenters: Brad Haseman and Amanda Morris

Title: Online learning design for creative education

Join us for a CREATE Webinar where Brad Haseman (Prof. Emeritus QUT & VP Kadenze) and Amanda Morris (Director Higher Education Engagement, Kadenze) respond to the limitations of current online learning design based on linear cognitive thinking by outlining a model built on the longstanding educational practices of the creative arts and design. Hear about their recent scholarly exercise with Kadenze, Inc. (‘Kadenze’) in developing a model of online learning design, called Technology Enabled Creative Learning (TECL). Kadenze proposes TECL as a coherent and mature field of online practice, supported by digital infrastructure that enables students and teachers to participate in creative and collaborative processes online.

You’ll have the opportunity to test the TECL model by drawing on your proven practice: what strategies are working well for you online and what limitations need to be addressed in the near future?
