Abstract
The recent studies have focused on the significance of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in developing creativity. This chapter regards creativity as a way of shaping new knowledge and it provides learners as many opportunities in exploring possible satisfying solutions of solving varies problems in project teams. Based on the foundation of social-cultural theory, this chapter firstly provides a knowledge conversation model where creativity can be regarded a driver stimulating conversations between tacit knowledge, explicit knowledge, individual knowledge, and collective knowledge. Secondly, ICT will be viewed as a useful tool in facilitating the continuous dynamic of those knowledge conversations in the process of project-based learning. Finally, strategies on how to design creative learning environments among project team members will be discussed. Briefly, this chapter contributes to bring theories on creativity, ICT, learning, and project management together in one framework and meanwhile has practical significance in better developing creative project teams and organization innovation.
