This paper proposes to explore the notion of eLearning in an area strongly historically conceived and cautious to employ new pedagogic methods to enhance undergraduate student learning. Through sample case studies, the paper will explore a number of divergent models, created to enable students to develop, promote and facilitate decision making using connections established between existing knowledge and new theoretical, technical and practical concepts. This process may be called illustrative thinking. The case studies will recognise eLearning knowledge in the field, and more specifically examples such as Animation Workshops, as a way of structuring curriculum content, delivery and rigor. The case studies involve students reflecting upon previous and existing theoretical and practice based creative arts knowledge and are tailored to enable students to identify and experience a greater degree of familiarisation with their own illustrative thinking process as part of a wider agenda. Whilst the arts subjects are acknowledged to attract students with a wide range of personalised approaches to learning and a diversity of backgrounds, this paper supports the idea that different learning capabilities and structures are absorbed, directed and nurtured by these specific eLearning developments. Student participation and involvement will provide evidence to support the position that changes in habitual learning are necessary and beneficial to attaining a successful, individual and unique approach to creative studies. Indeed the paper will affirm that these learning methods are formative in influencing future pedagogic direction. Whilst this paper is grounded in Art and Design it's findings are widely applicable across a range of subjects within Social Science and the Humanities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
