At OU, we have very little of this. Almost all classes, even in the visual communications department are focused on traditional lecture classes. One of our main goals is to promote this creative thinking through working with professors to offer a creative thinking course similar to the one Tina Seelig teaches. This initially be something that is just offered to a few students and once the benefits are seen and it is shown that students enjoy using their hands to prototype with playdoh and other materials during class, we will look to expand to offer more classes.</span></span>*<span style="font-size:medium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-d7e36521-2f3c-e60a-3f7e-1c834a4c5ce4"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips, Daniel Pullin (Dean of Business College)</span></span></span>*<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestones -</span></span>**<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap;">First class offered - Fall 2014</span></span>**<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap;">First Creativity major offered - Fall 2014</span></span>**<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap;">Other Majors required to take course in creative thinking - Fall 2016</span></span> <span style="font-size:large;">'''<u>Tactic #2: Learning by Doing Across Majors &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</u>'''</span> *<span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;">Description - There are few ideas that span every major at a major university, but one that is absolutely true for each is the fact that a student learns more by doing rather than listening. Universities like Stanford have begun to implement this with the d.school being open to all majors, but OU is slow in this area. If we want students to be as well prepared as possible when graduating, we need to get the students doing projects that have a real world impact and allow the students to get a hands on experience. To do this, we can partner with local business and work directly with them to develop projects that a small team of students can work on.</span>*<span id="docs-internal-guid-d7e36521-2f3f-ac02-fa61-ed0708940484"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips, Daniel Pullin Thomas Landers (Dean of Business CollegeEngineering), Cameron McCoy (Executive Director of Corporate Engagement Office)</span></span>
