Abstract
Learning Creative Learning (LCL) is an online course and global educator community which has engaged thousands of people interested in exploring creative learning approaches through projects, passion, peers, and play. LCL has been designed in pursuit of learner agency and global community — that is, enabling the pursuit of meaningful, personal learning journeys while also engaging with peers from around the world. This thesis investigates participants’ experiences in the Learning Creative Learning course and community, with an emphasis on understanding participants’ experiences of agency and community, as well as considerations of their own professional contexts and development, and explores design recommendations based on these findings.
