The answer turns out to be "all of them and more" and all in little more than 200 pages. A daunting task! but this edited volume does all these topics justice to a remarkable extent.' - British Journal of Educational Technology Vol 38 No 2 2007'This excellent book brings together views on creativity in Higher Education developed over a number of years by academics working in various disciplines.' - Physical Sciences Educational Reviews Informationen zum Autor Norman Jackson, Martin Oliver, James Wisdom, Malcolm Shaw Klappentext Graduates face a world of complexity which demands flexibility, adaptability, self-reliance and innovation, but while the development of creativity is embedded in the English National Curriculum and in workplace training, the higher education sector has yet to fully recognise its importance.This book highlights how pressures such as quality assurance, peer review systems, demands for greater efficiency and increased research output are effectively discouraging innovation and creativity in higher education.
