- W2801294553 abstract "The role of the creative arts in helping to maintain cognitive function andpromote better health outcomes for an ageing population has been receivingincreased attention from researchers internationally [1 ], [2]. Drawing on thisresearch and with the aim of providing opportunities for older adults to engagewith the creative arts we developed a one semester course, Creativity andAgeing at the University of Tasmania that was offered for the first time in 2016.We targeted this course towards students who had enrolled in the University ofTasmania MOOC Preventing Dementia and to retirees looking for strategies toavert decline in cognitive function. A novel curriculum was devised thatintroduced current research on the benefits of the arts and creativity in ageing andthen offered a mix of creative and reflective tasks, delivered and assessed via aD2L online platform. Over two hundred students enrolled, with 81% aged over5 0. Each undertook three different creative mini-projects guided by specialistlecturers from the School of Creative Arts. For the first project students weregiven a creative theme but no restrictions on materials or techniques; for theremaining two projects, students chose from specific projects that includedcreative writing, stand-up comedy, creating soundscapes and various visual artsprojects. Students interacted with staff and one another primarily throughdiscussion boards. Through anonymous course evaluation survey responses and online feedback,these older adult learners provided valuable insights into their experience of theexploration and in some cases, rediscovery, of their creativity. They also identifieda range of benefits they had perceived from engaging in the course, includingimprovements in confidence, mood and the ability to concentrate. We had devisedonline discussion groups so that students could ask questions of tutors about theirprojects, but students reported that they found these more valuable for theemotional support and social benefits gained from discussing their projects andcreative challenges with other students. The overwhelmingly positive feedbackthat we received underlined the importance in curriculum design of clearstructure, innovative forms of engagement, formative feedback and developingtransferrabie ski/is and processes. Students identified undertaking specificprojects or learning art techniques as an initial aim, but by the end of the coursethey placed higher value on having learned processes and methods to refine theircreative work, and the satisfaction they experienced having met the series ofscaffolded challenges the course presented." @default.
