3. Socio-technical transitions
(Geels 2002)

4. Estonian Strategy for Lifelong Learning 2020
 Shift in teaching and learning paradigm
 Competent teachers and school leaders
 Meeting the job market needs
 Higher participation rates, effective funding models
 Digital turn in formal education system
 Integrating digital culture into teaching and learning
 Quality digital learning resources for all curricula
 Access to digital infrastructure, incl. 1:1 computing
 Digital competences of teachers and students

5. Digital turn towards 1:1 computing:
promise and failures
 Horizon Report 2012: the main technology trend in education
with 1 year time to adoption
 Radical shift in learning environment, re-definition of teaching
and learning processes
 Failures:
 OLPC Peru: 2.4 million laptops, no effect on learning
 Tiger Leap laptop schools: “Please, take these laptops away!”
 Success stories:
 Odder, Denmark: iPads for 200 teachers and 2000 students
 Essa Academy, UK: technology as an essential component of
radical school improvement

6. Whole school turn
 The training and support is oriented on the level of a teacher
 Diffusion of innovations (Rogers, 1992), OECD study (2002)
 Evidence-based school-level intervention models are needed

7. Pedagogical challenges
 Innovative learning (The Club of Rome 1979)
 Trialogical learning: collaborative knowledge building
resulting with shareable digital artefacts
 Learning in design mode vs belief mode (Bereiter, 2000)
 Flipped classroom, game- and project-based learning
 Self-regulated learning, changing role of the teacher
 Re-conceptualising e-textbooks

8. Technological challenges
 Interoperability of systems and services: educational X-road,
EHIS, SIS, learning resoruces, PLE, exams...
 Service-oriented approach, cloud services
 Digital learning ecosystem: evolving, partly user-defined
 Learning analytics, learner profiles, recommender systems
 Privacy, digital safety
 BYOD: designing for all platforms and screen sizes

9. Research agenda
 Context: training school teams, 20 pilot schools 2014-2015,
trilateral project (HTK + Samsung + HITSA)
 Assisting schools in making the radical change happen:
coaching, benchmarking, transparency, school networking,
learning by sharing
 Research design: iterative design-based research, action
research of school teams, mixed methods
 Expected outcome: empirically validated and scalable
implementation model for whole school turn towards 1:1
computing paradigm
