“…One of the fundamental skills required in our rapidly changing society is creative thinking ( [27], [11], [31]). This is the reason why the modern School has been intensely criticized ( [23], [22]) for it is unable to foster the creativity of the students, or -even worse -for killing their innate creativity.…”

It is difficult to measure something we cannot clearly define. No wonder that, for the over 100 definitions of the creativity proposed in the literature, there are almost as many scales and assessment tools. Most of these instruments have been designed for research purposes, and are difficult to apply and score, especially in the educational environment. Not to mention that they are expensive. The research described in this paper is aimed to develop a free, fast, and easy to use software tool for the assessment of creativity in the educational context. To this purpose, we have designed a new scale with 20 items, based on a novel approach focusing on detecting the factors known to block the creativity, like stereotypical thinking, and social conformity. The user input is collected through a web based interface, and the actual interpretation of the results is automated by means of a fuzzy logic algorithm. The proposed solution is interesting because it can be easily integrated in almost any e-learning platform, or used as a stand-alone tool for tracing the evolution of the students involved in courses for the development of creative thinking skills, and also for possible other applications.

“…Our study, focusing on activity theory, suggests the adoption of Innovation Education (IE) as a way of dealing with these issues. Thorsteinsson et al [31] in their studies on Adoption of ICT in Supporting Ideation Skills in Conventional Classroom Settings makes a contribution of ICT in idea development, positing that ICT with ideation is possible digitally, through Virtual Reality Learning Environment (VRLE) technology. Our observations in the reported study reveal that IE was not part of the discourse of the project.…”

The introduction of technology into graphic design education has resulted in some challenges within the pedagogy of ideation. In ideation,-generating, developing, and testing ideas leading to solutions-influences of technology are creating new possibilities for students to conceive ideas differently from the traditional methods. Using activity theory as a lens, the paper discusses the 'disturbances' in the ideation process of graphic design with ICT, especially within large class in a developing country. It concludes with a call for a review of pedagogical issues of ideation with a conviction that such disturbances can be overcome with the right pedagogy, with ICT as a support in the ideation process. Whatever our scepticism about ICT, there is some important aspects that can only be addressed if we adopt some of the new digital technologies, by modifying the current pedagogy.

After a good experience in the e-courses' design, the authors have arrived at the conclusion that such a course is made from a specific part named course's digital content and a general part named course's shell. The first part is represented by the knowledge that must be transferred from teachers to students. The second part, the general one, is represented by the mediator of this transfer. This paper aims at presenting the architecture of an Operation Research e-course by describing the course's digital content as well as the course's shell, both generating an ITC product belonging to the software as a service class.
