A collaborative active learning for enhancing creativity for multiple disciplinary problems

An active learning method with six creative stages for citizen to enhance creativity in multiple disciplinary could be very important to activate innovation in a city innovation and solve complex problems in cross disciplinary. We propose a collaborative active learning method with an easy start-up for improving QOL and activating innovation in the city by combination of creative methods, such as brain writing, brain storming, “three minutes advertisement,” speed storming, “focus rotation thinking,” scenario based thinking, “market mapping,” “advanced technology/philosophy thinking,” and “emotional design thinking of action.” The learning method enables participants to easily start enhancing creativity over multiple fields and to collaborate for creating new values for both visitors and residents. Their new ideas with effective hypothesis could produce synergetic effects on activating the cities. We also discuss evaluation by rubric means.
