Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, we examine the diversity of creative prototyping responses and perceptions in a global online learning environment through our investigation of a simple building task (i.e., ‘the Shoe Tower’) in the context of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) focused on creativity, innovation, and change. This simple creative task, which used common household objects (shoes), was designed and presented to a global community of online learners using the Coursera MOOC platform. Performance data gathered from the task outcomes (Shoe Tower metrics and number of build attempts) and student reflections (self-assessed beauty and creativity ratings) were analyzed with respect to gender, country of origin, and occupation. Our results show that gender and country of origin were associated with creative prototyping performance in statistically significant ways, while occupation was not. In addition, the self-assessment of individual creativity was independent of gender, country of origin, and occupation, while self-assessed beauty ratings were related to country of origin and occupation, but not gender.

探索全球在线学习环境中创意原型的多样性

在本文中，我们通过在大规模开放在线课程(MOOC)的背景下对一个简单的建筑任务(即“鞋塔”)的调查，研究了全球在线学习环境中创造性原型反应和认知的多样性，该课程侧重于创造力、创新和变革。这个简单的创造性任务使用了常见的家居用品(鞋子)，设计并呈现给使用Coursera MOOC平台的全球在线学习者社区。从任务结果(鞋塔指标和构建尝试次数)和学生反思(自我评估的美丽和创造力评级)中收集的性能数据根据性别、原籍国和职业进行了分析。我们的研究结果表明，性别和原籍国与创意原型的表现有统计学上的显著关系，而职业则没有。此外，个人创造力的自我评价与性别、原籍国和职业无关，而自我评价的美貌等级与原籍国和职业有关，而与性别无关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
