Applying the Assessment Scale for Creative Collaboration to Online Collaborative Learning

• In Event: Creative Thinking and Learning Within a Global Context

Abstract

Creativity is a key competence for facing the society challenges of the post-industrial knowledge society (Garrison, 2011). Despite the importance of collaborative learning in the 21st society (Bates & Sangrà, 2011; Hesse et al, 2015), creativity in educational settings has been mainly analysed individually. Moreover, the collaborative aspects of creativity have been not developed in the context of online collaborative learning (Romero, Hyvönen, & Barberà, 2012). There is also a lack of assessment methodologies for the collaborative creative assessment (Wishart & Eagle, 2014). This study aims to contribute to the analysis of creative collaborative learning in distance education context through the conception and analysis of the Assessment Scale for Creative Collaboration (ASCC).
