Enhanced learning environment for students and teachers - Hunter and Smith (2007)
Enhanced teacher creativity - Chant, Moes, and Ross (2009)

8. APTs Photovoice Music Reflective Poetry Drama
Crafts: Conceptual Quilting
Other visual media: movies, story telling, photostory

9. Photovoice
Originally a participatory action research method (Wang & Burris, 1997)
Purposeful use of selected visual images with affiliated reflective questions

10. Example of photovoice
What does this image teach us about organizational change?

11. What leadership style would be most appropriate in this situation?

12. Conceptual Quilting
Quilt-making requires learners to reflect on what they have learned, choosing important “take home” ideas and concepts.
When quilts are shared with the class, discussion arises about course concepts.
The novelty of the array of quilts creates interest and excitement within the group.
