Facilitator Guide

Creative Academy is a creative intervention aimed at transferring and adapting creative thinking and facilitation techniques used in the design world to other disciplinary teaching and learning contexts in the world of higher education. It comprises a one or two day training and professional development process aimed at helping higher education teachers develop their ability to think like a designer and to facilitate students' creative thinking when they are working in groups. A 2 hour workshop version for students has also been developed.

This wiki was created by the Surrey Centre for Excellence in Professional Training and Education (SCEPTrE). It describes some of the techniques developed and used in Creative Academy to stimulate design thinking. It also provides some resources to enourage other teachers or facilitators to try the techniques for themselves. If you would like to find out more about these techniques or participate in one of our training programmes please contact us. We welcome comments on the value of these resorces and how they have been used.
