| contents | In education there exists a tension between two modes of learning: traditional lecture-based instruction and more tinkering-based creative learning. In this paper, we outline our efforts as two Ph.D. students (who are skilled in visualization but are not, importantly, professionally trained visualization experts) to implement creative learning activities in an information visualization course in our home department. We describe our motivation for doing so, and how what began out of necessity turned into an endeavor whose utility we strongly believe in. In implementing these activities, we received largely positive reviews from students, along with constructive feedback which helped us iteratively improve the activities. Finally, we also detail our future plans for turning this work into a formal design inquiry with students to build a new class centered entirely around creative learning. |
