I teach third level creative students how to communicate through Media Writing, Public Relations, Social Media and Applied Communications in a BSc degree programme.
I need to ensure our graduates can populate digital channels with their creative work.
I need to inculcate a collaborative spirit to ensure our graduates can work with designers, art directors, copywriters, front end developers, programmers, marketers, and analysts.
Our graduates need to surmount blank screens and be creative.

The Process
-- My research includes continuous, informal interviews with students.-- Followed ethnographic process recommended by Spradley (1979).-- Digital artifacts (Flickr, Instagram, Google Plus, Twitter, Audioboo) assisted the data collection process.
Things I’ve done to investigate blank screen creativity.

What promotes creativity is a questioning classroom.
Ask unusual and challenging questions.
Value diversity.

A transformation has occurred. We have moved from "atom-based" economy, and towards one focused around the creation, manipulation, communication and storage of electronic binary digits or "bits".
