Mainstreaming ICT-enabled innovation for learning in Europe Exploring conditions for scalability and sustained impact at system level An overview of the study "Up-scaling Creative Classrooms in Europe" (SCALE CCR) conducted by the Joint Research Centre, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies on behalf of the DG Education and Culture (Dec 2011 - Jun 2013)
1
The challenge
How to make ICT-enabled innovation for learning
sustainable
? How to reach a significant
scale
3
The research cycle
and/or
systemic impact
?
2
The approach
Need for a
systemic approach organisational
, and changes at
technological & pedagogical
level for the sustainable implementation and progressive scaling up of
Creative Classrooms
. 'Creative' refers to innovative practices while the term 'classroom' includes all types of learning environments, in formal and informal settings.
300+
educational stakeholders involved
ICT-enabled innovation for learning:
profoundly new ways of using and creating information and knowledge made possible by the use of ICT 4
7 cases of ICT-enabled learning innovation from Europe & Asia*
Hellerup School
–a highly innovative public school in Denmark
eTwinning
– the fast developing teacher network in Europe
Digital Textbook
– the project for developing digital textbook contents in S. Korea 5 The multi-dimensional concept of Creative Classrooms : a systemic approach for mainstreaming ICT-enabled innovation for learning. See more in the related JRC Scientific & Policy Report paper
Mapping & analysing the 7
and journal
innovation for learning
( see the related JRC Scientific & Policy Diversity across and within the cases Report ): Built on system level initiatives that started years ago Multiple pathways to innovate and scale Support from many stakeholders Technological, pedagogical and organisational innovations Significant scale and/or impact at system level
CoREF
– the project for reforming public education in Japan
e-Learning Pilot
– the pilot scheme for developing e Learning solutions for Hong Kong, SAR
1:1 Learning
– 31 recent 1:1 initiatives in 19 European countries

In collaboration with the Centre of Information Technology in Education – University of Hong Kong (coordinator: Prof. Nancy Law). Case reports authors: P. Kampylis, N. Law, Y. Punie, S. Bocconi, B. Brečko, S. Han, C. K. Looi & N. Miyake ( see the related JRC Scientific & Policy Report ) 6
Key findings
The framework provides a 'snapshot' of their current stage of development and insights for strategic planning at micro, meso and macro level.
Common characteristics of successful ICT-enabled learning innovations
They have been developed 'organically' over time (
ecological model of change
) They follow
top-down
strategies for supporting
bottom-up
innovations They provide
architectures for
self-organized
learning across sites and levels
They facilitate
shared ownership
for continuous innovation and sustainable change at many levels They enable
leadership strategies for strategic alignment
They foster multilevel, system-wide connectivity and 7
strategic partnerships
The more innovative practices are, the more difficult they are to scale up!
60 recommendations for policy actions
Based on the case studies and
online consultation
with ≈
150 stakeholders
- organized in
7 clusters
