We can get the importance of fostering creativity in academic work online, but what about the evaluation of it. The authors identify a "second-generation focus [that] emphasises a personal, practical and socially-oriented creativity, and 'locates the creative enterprise in the processes and products of collaborative and purposeful activity'." The authors also suggest "creativity is best characterised as behaviour in a context, rather than as a skill or a capability." They also identify "a range of identifiers in these different dimensions for the assessment of creativity... Outcome dimensions: Product, process and person; Knowledge and skills: underpinning and core; Reflective and professional practice – acting like a [creative practitioner]." And later they describe "key characteristics of creative behaviour [as] being able to take risks, step outside of one's comfort zone, and to think both divergently and convergently around different domains of knowledge." So it's a bit hard to see how e-portfolio design impacts the assessment of creativity and the advice offered "start small" - "build a program-led approach", etc., is generic and unhelpful. But the topic of this paper is well worth consideration.
