“…Interviewee 1: "…it is definitely a plus to be creative… it is useful for most of our lessons…" Interviewee 3: "I definitely see creativity as a strong component in our field…" Interviewee 5: "It is essential in my studies to be creative. Trying to take a piece of work and put it into a design and make a product, requires being creative…" Not surprisingly, all the interviewees considered that creativity is an essential component of their studies, and this confirms Laing's assertion that creativity is an essential attribute in design education [22].…”

“…Similarly, Hargrove also argued against narrow notions of creativity that focus on aesthetics alone, while ignoring the cognitive nature of the process itself that comprises of a set of diverse skills and creative thinking strategies that are important for solving open-ended (creative) problems [21]. Laing pinpointed creativity as an essential attribute for design graduates, and argued that creativity is closely associated with imagination [22]. Moreover, for Laing creativity promotes wellbeing through the creative industries (performance, art exhibitions, design events etc.)…”

This paper investigates the perceptions about creativity and Social Networking Sites (SNS) among undergraduate design students. This is an under-researched area, and the use of phenomenography to examine this topic was deemed appropriate due to the objective of the study, which is to unpack the spectrum of views (referential aspects) and the respective causes (structural aspects) of the latter. The literature on creativity provides different perspectives on what can foster it. There is a lack of a commonly agreed definition of what creativity is. However, there is no dispute about the potential instructional benefits of SNS. The outcomes of this study suggest that there is a relationship between on the one hand the limited perceptions of SNS vis-a-vis creativity and on the other hand the lack of exposure to instructional strategies that embed in a systemic and effective manner the use of SNS in teaching and learning. If design education is to benefit from the synergies between creativity and SNS, it is suggested that instructional design needs to embed and explore in design curricula the use of SNS in a manner that promotes higher order thinking competencies and skills.

This article proposes that within media arts and other practical creative subjects, the ‘wow’ factors have a legitimate place within assessment criteria. Three distinctive considerations of assessment procedures within these subject areas are identified and the QAA benchmarks for the creative arts subjects are examined, noting that the music benchmarks are particularly inspiring. Three practices are suggested as ways of encouraging students to ‘live dangerously’ when doing practical assignments. The piece concludes that media arts and other creative subject areas entail a number of skills and qualities that are going to require subtle assessment procedures.
