Creativity In Instructional Design

I found the process described in this article useful, and it's interesting to layer the creativity loop over the instructional design process, but I wish the author had used some other word than 'creativity'. That's because, in this context, creativity is defined as "the generation of novel and useful ideas." I bristle at the requirement that the ideas be useful. My best creative ideas and acts have had no utility whatsoever. I am a fan of people like Geng Shuai and Matty Benedetto and Simon Giertz who specialize in inventing useless things. Now I suppose that if someone is paying the bills and expects an outcome, utility might be a requirement. But the day we constrain creativity to commercial application is the day we break it.
