A colleague referred me to the work of Chris Dede of Harvard University. He has done some pretty incredible work in academic technology integration and I have been enjoying the resources linked from his Harvard profile. What a pioneer!
I was especially mesmerized by the SCALE tutorial he developed for Microsoft. Here, scale refers to the adaptability of innovation to sustain in any environment, specifically in education in this model. The interactive grid provides a valuable infrastructural perspective of critical process relevant and applicable to any innovation project or development.
The tutorial provides a 'scaling tool' for innovation and addresses the core dimensions of 'depth, sustainability, spread, shift and evolution' by identification and development of the layers of 'power of dimension, traps to avoid, role of technology and next steps to explore' for each dimension. It's a valuable tool for anyone who affords process its due in sustainable, adaptable and evolutionary change.
