Insights from international work on innovative learning environmentsEduSkills OECD
Presentation on the Innovative Learning Environments (ILE), which gives general overview of the ILE project, its key findings to date. Outlining the ILE framework and how ICT and digital learning enters the learning environment in numerous ways and at different levels; though noting that there is no single technology effect or means through which it might reshape the nature of learning environments. ILE’s position that learning should not be ‘technology focused’ but instead above all be ‘learning focused’.

Innovation and the future: Y3 ssp 12 13 l15Miles Berry
The technologies whose study properly forms a part of ICT education develop at an exponential rate, with Moore’s law promising a doubling of computing capacity every couple of years, and global industries and innovative individuals continually finding new applications to use such capacity. The extent to which your school makes use of such innovation is, to some degree, in your hands.
After hearing your presentations, we’ll look at some of the issues raised by the rapid pace of technological change and explore some ways in which schools can best make discerning use of new technology. I also explore some current trends and we look at some technologies that may well find a place in the classroom of the not too distant future, or whatever may replace it.
We conclude with a review of the assessment requirements and an opportunity to reflect on the module.

Current issues and approaches in developing digital literacyjisc-elearning
Slides for webinar 12 Feb 2013. This webinar discussed what digital literacies are and why it is important for universities and colleges to develop the digital literacies of their students and staff. We will look at some of the issues to consider when planning an institutional approach to developing digital literacies, and projects from Jisc’s Developing Digital Literacies programme will highlight some of the approaches that they have found effective in their own contexts.

Schooling Redesigned - Towards Innovative Learning SystemsEduSkills OECD
What does redesigning schools and schooling through innovation mean in practice? How might it be brought about? These questions have inspired an influential international reflection on “Innovative Learning Environments” (ILE) led by the OECD. This reflection has already resulted in publications on core design principles and frameworks and on learning leadership. Now the focus extends from exceptional examples towards wider initiatives and system transformation. The report draws as core material on analyses of initiatives specially submitted by some 25 countries, regions and networks. It describes common strengths around a series of Cs: Culture change, Clarifying focus, Capacity creation, Collaboration & Co-operation, Communication technologies & platforms, and Change agents. It suggests that growing innovative learning at scale needs approaches rooted in the complexity of 21st century society and “learning eco-systems”. It argues that a flourishing middle level of change around networks and learning communities provides the platform on which broader transformation can be built.
This report is not a compendium of “best practices” but a succinct analysis presenting original concepts and approaches, illustrated by concrete cases from around the world. It will be especially useful for those designing, researching or engaging in educational change, whether in schools, policy, communities or wider networks.

5. Relevance of technology-based
innovation - directions
• Determining the conditions which enable
the adoption of technology
• Empowering schools and teachers to
generate discrete innovations at the school
or classroom level
• Providing support for the research
community
5
6. Are we able to scale up
technology-based innovations?
• Change at system level seemingly does not
happen.
• Possible reasons for lack of systemic
change:
– Knowledge base
– Teacher training
– Incentives
6
7. Research questions
• Competing concepts of technology-based
school innovations?
• The dynamics of technology-based school
innovations from a knowledge-
management perspective?
• Innovation policies regarding technology
in education
7
8. The Report: Topics
• Web 2.0
• Digital learning resources
• Monitoring and assessing ICT use in
education
• Research and research design
8
9. Lessons learnt (i)
• Imbalance between technology investments,
content, teacher training and knowledge base
• Tension between technology and pedagogy
• Axis between radical and incremental innovation
• There is a need to balance expectations between
the power of technology and feasibility of reality
• Complexity of the issues involved require a
multi-dimensional approach
9
10. Lessons learnt (ii)
• Potential of new research disciplines (e.g. brain
research) must be explored
• Work on assessment too narrow
• Need for social dialogue with all stakeholders
• Research must be translated into meaningful
guidelines for improving practice
• To what extent is research evidence phased into
the education and practice of teachers
10
11. Policy principles
• Systemic innovation useful for assessing
innovation policies
• Targeted system to promote and support
successful innovation and system-wide change.
• A coherent knowledge base is necessary
• Innovation opportunities may be lost due to lack
of evalution and knowledge feedback
11
12. Axis of innovation
• The Policy Axis
• The Pedagogical Axis
• The technology Axis
• The Knowledge Axis
12
13. The Policy Axis
• Horizontal coherence: Links between key
policy elements
• Vertical coherence: Links between key
players in an educational system
13
15. The Pedagocial Axis
• Curriculum and Innovation
• Empower the Innovators
• Culture of sharing among teachers and
school leaders
• ICT in the pedagogical debate
15
16. The Technology Axis
• Infrastructure is an enabler for access and
equity
• ICT support systems and capacity
• Collaboration with others players in the
educational systems
• Increased technological diversity to be
expected
16
18. The Knowledge Axis
• The Double Knowledge Change
– Establishing a knowledge base
– Effective dissemination and uptake of the
knowledge base
• Professional development among
teachers: Effective strategies
18
19. Policy implications
• Systemic approach to innovation as a guiding principle
for innovation-related policies
• Promote an evidence-informed dialogue on innovation
• Build a coherent knowledge base about technology in
education
• Supplement investments in technology with efforts in
monitoring and evaluation
• Support relevant research
• Avoid digital divides
• Align or embed strategies for innovation with
national/regional policies for education (Quality/Equity)
19
20. The Road Ahead
• Hybrid phase: Technology AND pedagogy
• Relationship between public
service/formal education and non-formal
education should be revisited
• Need to analyze the drivers of emerging
technologies
• Collaboration is King!
