This
interactive
Learnshop
aims
critically
to
reflect
how
to
innovate
in
a
profoundly
changing
education
ecosystem.
What
are
the
opportunities
for
innovation
within
emerging
lifelong
and
life-­‐wide
multi-­‐stakeholder
and
multi-­‐sided
ecosystems?
The
subsequent
case
information
will
form
the
base
within
the
Learnshop
to
examine
the
case
through
the
lens
of
a
rigorous
and
structured
framework,
the
Pearson
Efficacy
Framework,
as
a
tool
to
engender
learning-­‐focused
behaviours
when
assessing
and
evaluating
prospective
innovations.

Background
&
introduction
EFQUEL
has
launched
the
concept
of
a
‘Journal
for
Innovation
and
Quality
in
e-­‐Learning’.
It
is
intended
to
be
an
open
access,
open
peer-­‐reviewed
journal
which
provides
an
international
perspective
on
the
theory
and
practice
of
innovation
and
quality
in
the
field
of
learning
at
all
educational
levels
and
in
all
training
contexts.
It
focuses
on
the
relation
between
innovation
and
quality
in
education
and
seeks
contributions
which
discuss
how
technology
can
contribute
to
innovate
and
enhance
the
quality
of
learning.
INNOQUAL
aims
to
• give insight into the scientific discourse
• prompt important practical recommendations for learners and practitioners
• promote new approaches in the field of innovation and quality development for learning;
• an create an innovation forum for future oriented quality development of learning
The
journal
encourages
two
kinds
of
submissions
• First rate research articles by academics
• Case studies and reflective articles by practitioners
2.
Conception
and
progress
to
date
How
did
the
case
come
about,
what
progress
has
it
made
to
date,
and
what
are
plans
for
the
future?
The
journal
has
been
launched,
two
editions
have
been
produced,
and
it
wishes
to
continue
producing
two
editions
a
year
for
the
foreseeable
future.

Outcomes
&
value
proposition
What
are
the
intended
outcomes
&
value
proposition
of
the
case
with
regards
to
enhancing
learning
and
education?
WRT
learning
&
education,
we
hope
to:
a. Contribute to the topic of innovation and quality in e-learning, by making available high-level
scholarly works in the field
b. Discover the best way to operate an open review process, so that (a) the review is as participatory as
possible, bringing in divergent views from experts in different fields, while at the same time (b)
maintaining a reputation for quality as double-blind review.

Measures
of
achievements
and
success
What
are
the
intended
(or
already
implemented)
measures
of
achievements
and
success
through
the
case
life
cycle?
This
could
include
the
data
that
you
will
collect,
examples
of
research
activity
etc.
Our
measures
of
success
(indicators
not
benchmarks)
are:
-­‐ Journal readership
-­‐ Impact Factor
-­‐ Number of reviewers participating in review process
-­‐ Depth and extent of comments during open review
-­‐ Ancillary income from journal-related activities
5.
Impact
What
is
the
envisioned
impact
of
the
case,
in
particular
on
the
wider
education
community
and
the
changing
education
ecosystem?
The
case
will
validate
two
approaches,
namely:
a. A successful application of open-review principles for an academic journal
b. A business case for a fully free and open-access journal
If
these
are
successful,
then
it
will
contribute
successful,
replicable
case-­‐studies
to
the
wider
education
community,
which
could
be
used
to
further
the
open
access
movement.

HoTEL
OEB
Case
Study
Template
Context
The
HOTEL
(Holistic
Approach
to
Technology
Enhanced
Learning)
project
originates
from
the
observation
that
most
of
the
TEL
research
so
far
has
concentrated
mainly
on
the
development
of
ad
hoc
technologies
for
learning,
failing
to
capture
both
the
potential
adoption
of
emerging
technologies
not
originally
designed
for
learning
in
education
and
training
environments
and
the
innovative
use
that
is
made
of
technologies
in
non-­‐formal
and
informal
ways
of
learning
and
the
extent
to
which
this
could
be
transferred
/
adapted
to
formal
learning
environments.
This
is
believed
by
the
Consortium
to
provide
a
misleading
and
fragmented
picture
of
the
extent
to
which
new
forms
of
using
technologies
(already
mainstreamed
and/or
successfully
piloted
and/or
emerging)
support
learning.
Innovative
practices
in
the
use
of
technologies
for
learning
(especially
in
non-­‐formal
and
informal
learning
environments)
are
often
not
sufficiently
considered
by
research
whereas
bottom-­‐up
innovation
is
playing
an
increasingly
important
role
in
the
field
of
TEL,
which
might
lead
to
new
theories
for
learning.
On
the
other
hand,
there
is
a
need
to
verify
the
impact
of
existing
learning
theories
on
TEL
practices
to
determine
whether
this
has
led
/
is
leading
to
innovation.
Furthermore,
the
lack
of
a
holistic
approach
in
TEL
as
described
above
puts
at
risk
the
effectiveness
and
mainstreaming
of
new
ways
of
using
ICT
for
learning
purposes:
too
often
the
timespan
between
the
identification
of
technologies
that
have
a
potential
for
learning,
the
theoretical
analysis
of
pedagogical
implications,
the
piloting
of
such
technologies
and
their
adoption
(first
at
small
scale
and
then
mainstreamed)
is
so
long
that
the
technology
itself
becomes
out-­‐dated
compared
to
the
changing
environment
and
learning
needs.
Pearson’s
Efficacy
Framework
would
be
tested
as
a
[e.g.
stand-­‐alone]
means
to
support
the
different
stakeholders
to
innovate
in
TEL
/
education.
ELIG
and
Pearson
have
been
working
together
to
design
a
learnshop
that
would
foster
the
hands-­‐on
experience
of
using
the
efficacy
framework
with
test
cases
of
technological
innovations
in
order
to
examine:
i.
Whether
new
innovations
necessarily
support
learning
enhancement
ii.
The
impact
of
existing
learning
theories
on
TEL
practices
to
determine
whether
this
has
led
/
is
leading
to
innovation
Objectives
of
the
Learnshop
1. For
attendees
the
learnshop
would
provide
the
opportunity:
a. To
acquaint
themselves
with
the
efficacy
framework
as
a
tool
to
engender
learning-­‐
focused
behaviours
when
assessing
and
evaluating
prospective
innovations
b. To
be
involved
at
the
input
phase
of
the
project,
allowing
for
feedback
provided
on
evaluating
the
efficacy
framework
as
a
support
model
to
be
incorporated
into
future
iterative
decisions
of
the
holistic
model
c. To
examine
their
own
‘case’
(or
a
sample
case)
through
the
lens
of
a
rigorous
and
structured
framework,
providing
the
participant
key
takeaways
at
both
the
transversal
and
individual
case
level
