Welcome to the iCreaNet homepage. iCreaNet is a global research network of educational researchers focusing on support for development of creative skills in higher educational contexts. It was founded in 2011 by Professor Elsebeth Sorensen and e-Learning consultant MA Asger Harlung, both from Aarhus University (AU), Denmark. iCreaNet is an abbreviation of “ICT and Creativity Network”.

The network has a Global and Intercultural focus. It includes ICT resources and environments (Information and Communication Technologies) as crucial means of providing the flexibility and diversity necessary to facilitate creative development. iCreaNet emphasizes the perspective of bringing modern education directed towards the future in harmony with the way that citizens of the earth may learn and enhance their daily lives and contexts in the 21st century.

iCreaNet shares and develops design ideas for “education for creative skill development” from a perspective of

1. Using information and communication technologies in support of educational processes (e-learning),
2. Drawing, inclusively, upon diversity in terms of national and cultural pedagogical and educational traditions in order to specify their different educational methods and designs in support of creative skill development
3. Discussing research design for combining creativity support from the various educational traditions in new ways.

The network will find ways to exchange, combine, and develop ways to facilitate development of creative skills in students of higher educations, locally and Globally, proposing solutions, as well as research topics and projects.

News of network activities and publications will appear on this page on an ongoing basis.

ICreaNet kicks off with a face-to-face workshop held in Denmark March 30 – April 1, 2011.
