Paper Abstract:
|
This paper explores the implementation of a creativity support system for tertiary students studying games design and
development at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. The students at the centre of this study are the next generation of
learners and are often called the net generation because of their pre-imposed affinity for all things online. The creativity
support system for the games students is designed within a whole systems context. Focusing on only one tool to
augment a persons creativity does not take into consideration social factors that are pertinent on a person ability to grow
their creative behaviours. This study will present a set of factors that each creativity support system should employ to
facilitate creative abilities within people, with particular focus on how social activities help to enhance creativity. |
