Abstract

Unfortunately, mechanisms for producing high quality ideas are underexplored, and ways of generating and maintaining good ideas are seldom a direct goal of university instruction.

Keywords: big ideas, identification of big ideas, creation of big ideas, maintenance of big ideas, social dimensions of big ideas
