Computer-Assisted Creativity and Learning in Higher Education

This doctoral research project investigates how university students interact with the emerging technologies that are reshaping our classrooms. In recent years we have seen the rapid development and broad dissemination of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. It is anticipated that these tools will have a big impact on how we create and learn. Still, there is little understanding of what it means to "think with AI" or what "learning through reality media" looks like. Across one theoretical paper and two case studies, one in Norway and another in Chile, the project will set out to understand the creative affordances of our new learning ecologies in higher education.
