Gilly Salmon ALT-C 2012 Summary of findings : Mainstreaming Strategy & Policy 4 perspectives & approaches:, incremental improvement, opportunities, learning futures, transferability • institution-wide staff capability & capacity building • Low-cost high value for learning technologies • R & D unit including observatory & innovation pipeline Structures • Prototyping : action with evidence • Problem solving perspectives • Judge based on improved learning experiences or lowering of resources Actions & Implementation
Gilly Salmon ALT-C 2012 Definitions • Invention is the creation of a new idea, whether product, technology or method… • Innovation implies the development of more effective products and/or processes that become accepted by markets, governments and society. …in our case the institution and ultimately the sector
Gilly Salmon ALT-C 2012 Innovators Dilemma Clay Christensen’s work He asks a very straightforward question without an obvious solution – “Why do well managed, successful companies repeatedly fail to create and adopt new disruptive innovations?”

Gilly Salmon ALT-C 2012 Prototyping :Key Principle 1 • A prototype is an early sample or model built to test a concept or process …to act as a thing to be built upon • Prototyping serves to provide specifications for a real, working systems rather than a theoretical one. • The word prototype derives from the Greekπρωτότυπον (prototypon), "primitive form", neutral of πρωτότυπος (prototypos), "original, primitive", from πρῶτος (protos), "first" and τύπος (typos), "impression".
Gilly Salmon ALT-C 2012 Key Principles 2: Learning Design through Carpe Diem workshops • Teams • Cascading • Purposefulness • Scaling up established deploying easy to prototype pedagogical models www.le.ac.uk/carpediem

Gilly Salmon ALT-C 2012 Principles of Learning Innovation • evidence for and evaluation of benefits of enabling innovation across the institution for students’ learning • collaboration across the institution within strategic frameworks and through funded research and development projects • raising the capability of all members of the university, students and staff, to exploit and benefit from the learning technologies of the 21st Century • exploring ‘beyond the obvious’ to prepare for the future in unseen, unknown and uncharted territory for learning and teaching
