Veering off the beaten track is something I often do. Beaten tracks are too 'safe' and restrictive for me. I like to go off road and explore, and I often find myself down some backstreet in a city I've never visited before, chatting to locals or taking photos of strange new sights. I can't help it.

The quote was used in the opening session because a) Joy Division were from Manchester, b) it's an iconic post-punk track and c) it's a challenge for education today. It was played during the introduction of the 2015 ALT-C Conference in Manchester.

Photos, sound files and video clips are always great ways to liven up great presentations. A few quick examples: Photos. A retail clerk needs to categorize items rung up at the point of sale — photos of the inventory aid in product recognition. Not surprisingly, adding video is more challenging than adding sound or photos.

Creativity means different things to different people, and polarises our responses, and that is part of the appeal of discussing the topic. There are always some great answers in the workshops, such as: ''students are quiet and focused'', ''they lose track of time'', or ''they surprise me with great ideas or solutions''.
