1. Mainstreaming ICT-enabled innovation for learning in EuropeExploring 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 2 The approach How to make ICT-enabled innovation for learning sustainable? How to reach a significant scale and/or systemicimpact? 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. 3 The research cycle 2 experts workshops (Seville & Hong Kong) 7interviews Focus on what is possible in today's practices with today's technologies! Desk research 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 7 case studies The multi-dimensional concept of Creative Classrooms: a systemic approach for mainstreaming ICT-enabled innovation for learning.
