Creativity and Innovation: A Team Approach

As you read this week, a creative product can be assessed from a variety of perspectives because of how difficult it can be to assess. The purpose of this activity is to go through the process of assessing creativity and innovation to further your understanding, but also to put into action your learning from last week on a team approach to creativity and innovation.

Preparation:

• Read the article Rubric to Assess the Competence of Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship in Bachelor Degree (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
• Read Hot Topic 5: Creativity Assessment from the Plucker (2017) text.

Activity:

  • It is important that you pay close attention to the Creativity and Innovation Rubric when conducting this part to ensure you have enough information to complete the rubric as a final step.
• Meet with your teammate (either via phone, Skype, etc.) to discuss your questions and commendations and allow them to share theirs with you. Again, make sure you have enough information to accurately complete the rubric.
• Using your peer’s outline and the information gathered during your meeting, complete the Creativity and Innovation Rubric based on this information.
  • Submit this rubric along with your questions and reflection (below).
• In a one page Word document, summarize what you gained from this team approach.
