Creativity Infographics
We challenged ourselves to turn a 50 page inspection report into something more accessible and created a series of infographics – the largest of which will soon be available as pull up banners in each local authority, but all are either printable or look great on a smart phone.

Everything is Creative Infographic Maker
We wanted to empower educators to take make the infographics their own so we have a free, no barriers, quick online poster making tool that includes a template for creativity skills (and one for the Inwards, Outwards, Forwards improvement wheel) – you can quickly create professional quality visuals to share by email, social media or to put up on the wall.

Creativity Graphic EqualiserCreativity Graphic Equaliser
We’re currently trialling a self-evaluation tool that lecturers and learners can use to explore how creative the teaching, learning and environment is. We call it the graphic equaliser because it allows you to shade a ranged response instead of a finite point on the graph – making the discussion and responses so much richer and more intuitive. Feel free to use/adapt and let me know if you find it useful. This may be a useful tool for lecturers in any subject to consider how well they are supporting creativity skills in their own context.
