Dataset on collaborative creativity in digital higher education

This dataset contains quantitative and qualitative information derived from a multi-cohort study conducted between 2020 and 2024 in a Psychology of Education course at a Mexican public university. The study examined the microdevelopment of collaborative creativity among university students working in digital environments. Data were collected from 1,038 individual contributions written by students in shared Google Docs while developing creative intervention proposals in teams. Each contribution was coded along two dimensions—Novelty (0–3 scale) and Appropriateness-Feasibility Index (0–5 scale)—following the framework of Kupers et al. (2018). The contributions were ordered according to their sequence within each team. This ordinal sequence represents the progression of the collaborative process; successive positions do not represent equivalent chronological time intervals.
