Episode 62: Back to School, Back to Creativity

August 16, 2025

Todays Crew

Greg, Alessandra, Devin, Shadows Pub, Hillary, Bobby B


Today we asked the question:

If you could design your own “School of Creativity,” what classes or experiences might you include?


Summary

Today's crew answered a simple question:
If you could design your own School of Creativity, what would you teach and how would people learn?

The crew explored learning styles, program design, safety in learning, mentorship, mixed media delivery, and even angel investing as a creative path.

The theme:
creativity flourishes when people can choose how they learn, feel safe to explore, and have access to both wisdom and practical tools.

Back-to-school season isn’t just for kids. Today the team reframed “school” as a flexible, human-centric space where curiosity leads and structure supports.

  • Devin introduced angel investing as a creative practice and mapped the “spokes on a wheel” approach to interests.
  • Alessandra spotlighted the power of synchronous, live learning for motivation and follow-through.
  • Hillary laid out a tiered, mixed-media curriculum that adapts to different learners, with a vision for “CAD Coven” to mentor AutoCAD pros in the soft skills missing from industry onboarding.
  • Shadows championed self-guided study through books and articles over formal courses.

Episode 45: Practice Session for Wai-Ling Fong's Dissertation Defense

From Emergency Remote Teaching to Long-Term Impact: Wai-Ling Fong’s PhD Journey


Summary

In this special episode of the Creative Work Hour podcast, we’re treated to a unique behind-the-scenes moment—a practice session for Wai-Ling Fong as she prepares to defend her PhD dissertation. Wai-Ling shares her research on the long-term impact of the Online Course Design Primer (OCDP) implemented at George Mason University during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her study evaluates how this training influenced faculty teaching practices over time. After her presentation, Creative Work Hour members provide valuable feedback to help her refine her final defense.


Highlights from the Episode

  • Introduction
     
    • Greg and Alessandra welcome listeners and set the stage for Wai-Ling's presentation.
    • Alessandra reflects on how significant this milestone is for Wai-Ling after years of effort.
  • Wai-Ling’s Presentation
     
    • Context: The OCDP was created in response to the sudden shift to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • Research Question: How did participation in the OCDP influence faculty teaching practices in the long term?
    • Methodology: Wai-Ling used a longitudinal qualitative case study with data collected from 2021 and 2024. She applied the Kirkpatrick evaluation model to assess the program's impact across three levels: participants' reactions, knowledge transfer, and changes in teaching behavior.
