Many educators are looking for new ways to engage students and each other in order to enrich curriculum and the teachinglearning\nprocess. We describe an example of how we enacted teaching-learning approaches through the insights of complexity\nthinking, an approach that supports the emergence of new possibilities for teaching-learning in the classroom and online. Our\nstory begins with an occasion to meet with 10 nursing colleagues in a three-hour workshop using four activities that engaged\nlearning about complexity thinking and pedagogy. Guiding concepts for the collaborative workshop were nonlinearity, distributed\ndecision-making, divergent thinking, self-organization, emergence, and creative exploration. The workshop approach considered\ncritical questions to spark our collective inquiry.We asked, ââ?¬Å?What is emergent learning?ââ?¬Â and ââ?¬Å?Howdowe, as educators and learners,\nengage a community so that new learning surfaces?ââ?¬Â We integrated the arts, creative play, and perturbations within a complexity\napproach.
