Innovating in the Creative Arts with LEGO

This is an online report commissioned in a series on pedagogic innovation by the Higher education Academy. This publication focuses on the use of three dimensional approaches to exploration and reflection, rooted in pedagogic theory.

From the Higher Education Academy website:

This report focuses on the use of LEGO® and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® as tools for exploring complex questions in any discipline. It outlines the pedagogic and theoretical basis for using three-dimensional and metaphorical building and discussion activities and shares vignettes of practice. In particular the report argues for playful and imaginative alternatives to traditional ways of learning and engaging. It also stresses the need to recognize these as valid and appropriate for higher level study. Although these vignettes come from a creative arts institution the techniques discussed originated outside the creative arts and are applicable within any discipline.
