Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent to which creativity is fostered in online education courses and the inhibiting elements to the promotion of suitable conditions to the e-students' creative development and expression. Fifty-two online education tutors completed a questionnaire with an open question and a checklist of barriers to the development and expression of student's creativity. Results indicated that, for the majority of respondents, creativity has being contemplated in online education courses in which they were involved. The most frequently reported barriers were focused in students' participation and behavior, such as lack of interest in course contents and difficulties in participating in online education courses. Lack of autonomy to conduct online tutorial practices, of enthusiasm towards online tutorial activity, poor quality of the instructional material and asynchronous communication were the least frequently pointed barriers.
