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)

Need for a systemic approach and changes at organisational, 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.

1 The challenge

7 60 recommendations for policy actions

4 7 cases of ICT-enabled learning innovation from Europe & Asia*

2 The approach

5 Mapping & analysing the 7 cases

8 Dissemination

6 Key findings

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 strategic

partnerships

The more innovative practices are, the more difficult they are to scale up!
