Summary:This study reports on the introduction of weblogs as a part of the teaching environment for Thai students to facilitate group learning and enhance creativity. Assessment of progress was through formal creative thought testing, as well as a questionnaire with both structured and open questions. Results showed a significant improvement in assessed creativity at the end of the trial period with weblogs being perceived as enhancing both group learning and creativity. Overall, the results suggest that the use of weblogs provide an environment in which Thai students can more freely show individual creativity within an enhanced peer collectivism structure. © 2013 Taylor & Francis.
