Abstract

This paper reports the outcomes of the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT)1 funded Scholarship of Teaching and Learning project 'I Love Learning'. Our project focused on encouraging creativity in our learning support and teaching to motivate and encourage students. In this paper, we examine how we worked together collaboratively and across different disciplines.We each contribute in our different voices, so that the contrasting facets of our joint journey can be explored. We explore our methodology, joint working to improve teaching, active learning, storytelling and use of social media. We demonstrate through practice that collaborative working is an important part of developing creativity in learning.
