A Collaborative Effort
Course: Online Technology in Education
Final Collaborative Presentation: Creativity and Collaboration in Online Media
Summary of the Project
This project was a collaborative effort to illustrate creative online applications that support collaboration and personal expression, while highlighting primarily open source software. The project components include an online magazine publication that presents my ideas on developing a creative mind, the second part is a breakout room instructional video that demonstrated the possibilities for any domain when a creative mind is cultivated (access to the video is not available upon the creator's request), and the final component is a video remix with contributions from each group member, but produced and directed by Sasha Geukjian, which demonstrates the possibilities when creativity, collaboration, and technology join forces.

Why has it been Included?
This project was included in my portfolio of learning for several reasons, but primarily due to the large number of creative, open source technologies that were highlighted in the project, as well as the endless possibilities they offered for creative learning. Additionally, this project required me to venture outside of my comfort zone when I was asked to contribute a short clip of myself for inclusion in our video, which was something I felt very uncomfortable doing. As well, since the project was not exactly a great success in terms of its unity and presentation timing, these were also a consideration for its inclusion. I think each of our segments showed great vision and potential, but were completely disjointed instead of being a cohesive unit. As well, I believe the project also suffered from communication problems and a generational differing of views and interests. From this experience it would seem that just because a group of people are artistically inclined does not necessarily mean they will have the same vision or the means in which to accomplish it.
Creativity & Collaboration in Online Media
This artifact is an online magazine publication that I designed for the development of a creative mind. It is embedded here for easy viewing, or can be seen at its original site by following the link below. This presentation highlights creative software that in my opinion can enhance learning and is available free to people of all ages and varying interests.
Creativity and Collaboration in Online Media is my contribution to our project published online with Issuu, which is also available at this link or click on the image to the right. http://issuu.com/sylviab/docs/creativity_and_collaboration_in_online_media |
