Creativity in Collaborative Projects for Learning Partners and Small Groups || Selia Karsten, OISE/UT, Ontario, Canada, drkarsten@astralsite.com || Taking courses online since 1994 and teaching teachers online since 1997, I have observed many changes in the tools available. Browsers were relatively new back then and the few existing learning management systems like Web Course in a Box were quite easy to navigate. The changes in technology over the past years have resulted in more tools available. The more complex the software, systems, and the upgrades, the more I look for creative projects to assign. I aim to guide graduate students into experiences that will enhance their learning and will suggest ideas for how they can use similar projects in their own teaching. If they find the projects I assign provocative, they will be stimulated to learn to use whatever systems we have at hand whatever the technical challenges. They will do this work more comfortably if the collaborative activities involved engage them in projects with creative and (ultimately) satisfying outcomes. || General Session Forum All ||
