Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss how we encourage creativity amongst educators in Arts Education: Creativity in the Classroom, a Curriculum and Instruction Masters course at Memorial University and we recount the process of moving the course on-line. While many courses designed for the web are primarily text-based and merely replace oral lectures, this course involves aesthetic design (Parrish, 2007) and multimodal learning (Larson & Marsh, 2005).
