The HoTEL Innovation Support Model aims to help innovators progress their ideas from early prototypes to large-scale practices. It takes a holistic approach across technical, educational, social and business dimensions. The model establishes three "exploratorium labs" where innovations can be tested with real users in real contexts across higher education, workplaces and professional networks. It recognizes that technology-enabled learning (TEL) innovations are driven not just by technology but also by theory, practice and policy, and calls for a more integrated approach. Key activities include technology forecasting, foresight and assessment to plan for adoption of emerging innovations in a coordinated, systemic way involving all relevant stakeholders.

Existing and well-functioning regional or national innovation systems designed to support scienceand
technology-based innovation have to be further developed in order to be able to meet new
challenges from emerging global markets for technology and new forms of global knowledgesharing.
Across all countries, governments have recently been involved in research and education;
hence a need for new knowledge and new business skills will also have to be in the focus of
governmental interest. Governments have constantly been called upon to react accordingly and to
adopt innovation-friendly framework conditions. New policy tools have been created to be able to
better meet this challenge.
The regional dimension has also become of increasing significance. Nowadays, regions have come
up with own innovation strategies considering the individual regional strengths instead of spreading
public investments thinly across several frontier technology research fields and, as a consequence,
not making much of an impact.
Innovation policy has to acknowledge that traditional boundaries between manufacturing and
services are increasingly being blurred. The success of manufacturing depends, for instance, very
much on innovative services, such as design, marketing and logistics as well as on product related
after-sales services, and vice versa. More and more service providers are manufacturing goods
that build upon or are related to their service portfolio or distribution channels. But regional and
industrial development policies and tools are still not sufficiently taking account of these changes.
Service innovation is in fact a driver for growth and structural change across the entire economy. It
helps to make the entire economy more productive and provides fuel for innovation in other
industries. It even has the potential to create new growth poles and to lead markets that have a
macro-economic impact.
The so called systematic innovation policy approach, which has recently been introduced in many
industrialised countries, is based on the assumption that an effective innovation policy has to
improve all determinants that influence a given sector-specific innovation system.
The indicator-based Analysis of National Innovation Systems Approach (ANIS), developed by the
Institute for Innovation and Technology (iit Berlin) includes a comprehensive examination and
evaluation of the status of national innovation systems. It is mainly intended for emerging and
developing countries for which standard innovation benchmarking and monitoring approaches
might not be sufficient as statistical data is often missing or outdated. Policy-makers of these
countries can benefit from clear advice on how to overcome weaknesses within their national
innovation system and to identify determinants of specific relevance.

2. The HoTEL Innovation Support Model?
Scope: Model that will help innovators to come
• From point A (idea, research, early prototype, small
scale innovative practice)
• to point B (innovation, advanced prototype, exploitable
product, large scale innovative practice)
‒ making a significant progress, faster and in a consistent
way
‒ taking a holistic approach (e.g. technical, theoretical,
educational, relational, social, business, etc.)
─Multi-stakeholder ecosystem: 3 Exploratorium labs.
Actual innovations and practical, on the ground, with real users
and in a real context-setting; HEIs, Workplace, Professional net.
─3 strands: emerging technologies (WP1), emerging practices
(WP2), bottom-up innovations (WP3).
3. Origins of TEL innovations models:
need for a more integrative approach
Technology and Industry-led, in which the
availability of a new technology, normally not
specifically designed for learning, finds a number of
educational or informal learning applications.
Research-led, in which learning theories search and
find application in experimental learning settings
that are created and monitored to check learning
effectiveness, usability and other key features.
Practice-led, spontaneous bottom up innovation
emerging from individuals or communities of
teachers and learners that find original ways of using
technology to materialise new ideas about learning
and teaching and are able to demonstrate their
effectiveness in new contexts of use;
Policy-led innovation, materialised by the many
national programmes launched since the 80s to
diffuse ICT and its use in classrooms.

5. Difficulty of adoption and scale:
TEL Systemic Innovations
Systemically interconnected TEL innovation types
Adapted from Jari Kaivo, 2011
Systemic changes in one of
these innovation types, can
introduce changes or
innovations in the other 3 types
as well.
Not linear, single rooted, or
independent
but
Systemic, several
converging technologies,
often competing, complex
interactions of many
players, holistic solutions
Need for

8. Technology intelligence to assess technology
gaps and plan for adoption
Technology forecasting : technologies possible evolution from
existing trends. Assess technology readiness and ability to add
value in existing solutions. (focus on incremental innovations)
Technology Foresight: The identification of emerging technologies
and the possible commercialization of such technologies in TEL.
(focus on disruptive innovations)
Technology assessment: Identification of risks, opportunities and
threats related to such developments and the impacts of these
technologies at some time in the future.
A plan for adoption of the foreseen innovations must be
developed, which would include all the relevant actors involved in
the innovations functional logic for implementation. (systemic)
9. Activities involved
Technology forecasting: incremental innovations
identify critical requirements and “products” to be developed (added value).
identify major technology areas and technology drivers.
identify technology alternatives and their possible evolution based on strong trends,
historical data, hype curves and technology life cycles or S-Curves.
Technology Foresight: disruptive innovations
What are the possible innovation opportunities stemming from the emerging
technologies?
What will be their potential for commercialization, in terms of desired applications,
products or services?
Which products, technologies, practices or even markets will be replacing?
What will be the resistance from the current players in the market?
What it means in terms of the adoption of the new technologies?
PESTLE drivers, scenarios development, Delphi studies, bibliometrics .
Technology assessment:
Whether we have to deal with incremental, disruptive innovations, or systemic TEL
innovations, a technology assessment in terms of technology readiness to deliver the
innovation opportunities needs to be performed. Most common methods include surveys
in form of interviews with experts in both technologies (ICT) and business, gap/SWOT
analysis,
Editor's Notes
Systemic, Bayesian statistics, cross impact analysis, scenarios context and desired, as well as holistic adoption models.
This suggested that certain actions needed to be taken if the innovations are to succeed. The red traffic lights highlight that the critical players are the policy makers and Quality Assurance Agencies. If their concerns are not adequately addressed they can become the roadblocks to the success of the roadmaps implementation. Therefore actions should be planned, such as working with the data security providers together with the policy makers and practitioners and researchers/developers in order to frame adequate security solutions. Similarly, the quality assurance agencies need both policy directives and a clear understanding of what the assessment of creative learning will entail and what would be reliable methods of assessment. School administrators would need to be convinced that new assessment methods and software, tools, can be seamlessly integrated, teacher training will be provided, and that the required resources will be available. With regards to the parents, it was suggested that campaigns to explain the need, the program and the benefits of creative learning, along the lines of industry’s need for more creative people; how the creative learning environment will strongly develop this; new forms of assessment will enable students to demonstrate their new skills; and enhanced opportunities for students to have rewarding jobs in future industries. In all cases, some success stories and examples from beacon schools, which can also act as mentors, would be helpful in illustrating realistic possibilities. However, the overriding factor would be a clearly stated demand from industry, coupled with clear policy directives will be a key factor to helping turn all lights to green.
