摘要:Often the traditional creative arts curriculum does not sufficiently respondto, nor reflect, contemporary work practice. Multidisciplinary teams are nowincreasingly the norm in creative arts practice especially when driven bytechnological innovation. Drawing on contemporary research that centres onthe benefits of multidisciplinary collaboration, Creative Exchange is a directattempt to implement multidisciplinary practice within a tertiary learningenvironment. Outcomes aim to prepare students for dynamic engagementwith the challenges and possibilities of their future workplace in the creativearts industries. After the initial planning stages and based on recent researchfindings, the scope of Creative Exchange has broadened from collaborativeengagement within the creative arts to a broader rationale that includes noncreative arts’ disciplines e.g. Information Technology, Business andJournalism. In order to develop a sustainable solution this approach wasformalised in the POOL MODEL framework (Fleischmann, 2008a, 2008b,2010) within which Creative Exchange saw its first implementation in 2009in the School of Creative Arts at James Cook University.
