Abstract

During the last decade, IT students in a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) environment at Aalborg University (AAU), Denmark, have developed three student satellites. This paper focuses on teaching strategies of fostering creative IT students through the development satellite projects at AAU. The discussion of the strategies in satellite projects will lead to implications of creativity development in IT education in China. Suggestions for China, such as supporting students in group work, designing interdisciplinary projects, change from 'teacher-led' education to 'student-centered' learning, and facilitating staff development on creativity teaching will be proposed.
