Imagery and Metaphor - engaging undergraduates in responsibility for their own learning

Abstract: Andragogical and heutagogical theories inform the design of an undergraduate Introduction to Management course - taught online in 2020 – which included an assessment task requiring students to create a visual metaphor of their understanding of some key management principles. To display their art work they worked in a set of teams creating and hosting a Virtual Art Gallery ( https://artgallery21.godaddysites.com/main-page ) This experiential session employs principles informing the design of these tasks. Some images will be explored in depth to unpack individual artists quite diverse images exploring their responses to course content. The team task was entirely student driven.
