Abstract

As part of the Handson ICTi project we need to design a teacher-training MOOC course on applying Information and Communication Technologies ICT with support of creativity techniques. The course should utilize learning-by-doing learning approach and run within a MOODLE LMS. This paper, applying design-based research methodology, describes our experience in developing this course through series of design iterations and evaluations. The research questions we address are as follows: What are trends and challenges of teaching creativity with ICT as indicated by literature and good practices? What are pedagogical approaches relevant for HandsonICT MOOC? What changes need to be made to address the participants experience with the HandsonICT MOOC as suggested by the first pilot of the course? What are the lessons learned with the design and evaluation of the Handson ICT MOOC? We first make an overview of the findings from a systematic literature review and a screening of good practices in regard to teacher-training in creativity and ICT. Then we discuss different learning theories and instructional design approaches, and especially how they can be implemented in a MOOC for teaching creativity and teaching creatively using ICT tools. In the next step we describe different versions of the HandsonICT MOOC course. Finally, we conclude with some lesson learned.
