Create Curate Collaborate! (2011-12) was designed to be a collaborative cross-institutional and cross-platform action research project, working with extracurricular creative writing groups at the University for the Creative Arts and Northbrook College Sussex, to enable practical, on-line engagement between participating groups of students and to support and extend their research abilities and writing skills. The project was a model of connectivity, creating links between two educational institutions and a museum across a range of creative arts disciplines; as well as connections between the tangible and intangible, through the digital medium of Prezi. The online presentation software Prezi provides an infinite canvas, a space where students can collect and curate their creative responses. The experimental charge of students working at separate locations as well as together in the resource rich environment of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, provided a strong framework for research study
