Özet
<p>Abstract</p><p>The TICON Project addresses an important but unsolved need in teaching creativity online for 21stcentury</p><p>engineering programs. TICON's main goal is to equip higher education engineering teachers</p><p>with essential online tools, relevant pedagogical know-how, as well as with relevant technical and</p><p>practical skills while teaching creativity in online and hybrid settings. TICON Project Consortium has</p><p>thus designed the platform to deliver a range of educational materials, including lessons, assessments,</p><p>and feedback. In this context, the pilot testing conducting within TICON Project has been completed.</p><p>The pilot test included both student feedback (n = 360) and engineering teachers’ views on the platform</p><p>and its performance (n=60). The students and engineering teachers participating the pilot test were from</p><p>universities of Germany, Denmark, Turkey and Ireland. In TICON pilot test, engineering teachers and</p><p>students tested the TICON platform’s functionality and efficiency in teaching creativity skills online.</p><p>The extent to which the TICON e-learning platform is user-friendly can be inferred from the results,</p><p>which indicate that its interface is both adaptable and well-designed. The educational materials, which</p><p>encompass both the lessons and assessments, have been unequivocally praised for their exceptional</p><p>quality, remarkable relevance, and unparalleled ability to keep students fully engaged. The results of</p><p>pilot test indicate that the platform has the potential to make a significant impact in the field of higher</p><p>education engineering and online teaching of creative skills. The educational resources, comprising both</p><p>lessons and assessments, have been widely acknowledged for their compelling quality, remarkable</p><p>relevance, and exceptional capacity to captivate and inspire learners.</p><p>Keywords: Teach!ng creat!v!ty onl!ne, H!gher educat!on, Eng!neer!ng, TICON Project</p>
