Mainstreaming ICT-enabled Innovation for #LEARNing in Europe

Objectives: 

The main objectives of the SCALE CCR project as a whole were:

to define and classify “ICT-enabled innovation for learning” across a range of settings and participants, including groups of learners and teachers/instructors at system level, both within and outside formal education settings
to develop the concept of Creative Classrooms (CCR) and the related reference parameters for pilot initiatives in up-scaling CCR
to identify and analyse the implementation strategies of a number of effective ICT-enabled innovations for learning at system level in order to bring to the surface commonalities of purpose, scope and conditions for sustained impact
to propose concrete policy recommendations for the further development and sustainable mainstreaming of CCR in Education and Training (E&T) across Europe
SCALE CCR is expected to contribute to several actions under the Europe 2020 Flagship “Digital Agenda for Europe”, in particular Objective 4 on “Creativity and Innovation”, as well as the Flagships “Innovation Agenda”, and “Youth on the move”.
The project has relevant links with the JRC-IPTS projects on Digital Competence (DIGCOMP) and Open Educational Resources in Europe (OEREU).
