Creative Feedback

Professor Mark d’Inverno – Pro-Warden for Research and Enterprise, Goldsmiths, University of London

 

Arguably one of the most important activities of universities is to provide environments where students develop the wide variety of social and intellectual skills necessary for giving and receiving feedback. We are not talking here about the rather dreary compliance-inflected
pre-existing notions of feedback but the profoundly creative and human act of giving and receiving feedback in order to validate, challenge and inspire. So as to emphasise we are talking about this kind of feedback, we coin the term “creative feedback”.

In this talk I will aim to characterise its qualities and take a historical look at the concepts of creativity/creative in order to ground our use of this specific term. I will then present Music Circle – that has been developed as part of a large European grant – which is an innovative technology supporting creative feedback in communities of learners that has been successfully employed with several thousand engaged users.
