Digital arts-based collaborative learning in management education

Collaboration, creativity, and self-efficacy are extremely important skills for students pursuing careers in management; these skills can empower them to overcome setbacks and obstacles. Pedagogical approach based on digital art collaborative learning can enhance students' skills as they experiment with novel perspectives. Within management education this approach is rare. The aim of this paper is to describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of a digital arts-based collaborative learning project. The project had a cross-cultural nature involving stu-dents from two business management courses, one in Italy and one in Hungary. Drawing on the theories of safe transitional space and self-efficacy, students' ability to perform a task in an un-familiar space is discussed. This digital collage creation project is highly innovative in the busi-ness education context and the results support future applications.
