This course examines theories of creativity, innovation and inventions to explore how the different concepts and theories may influence one another in developing an inventor mind.

The course begins by investigating the potential relation and conceptual flow between curiosity, inquiry, discovery, creativity, inventions, and innovation, and then identifying the mental representations formed within those processes.

    Introduction

    When COVID hit, I had been teaching construction trades math for many years. I knew our “emergency remote” Zoom classes weren’t effective, but I couldn’t tell you why.

    So Fall 2022, I entered the Technology, Media and Learning program, hopefully receiving an Ed.M. in Design of Learning Technologies by 2028.

    Since then, I’ve learned a couple of phrases that align to my learning environment: apprenticeship traditions dating back to the guilds, and even to ancient times:

    Embodied Cognition
    Diffusion of Innovation
    Savvy Start
    Multi-modalities
    Andragogy
