Five Key elements for Educational Innovation using a Learning Design Methodology
The Continuous Professional Development of educators in terms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is still an unresolved problem. Most trainings and activities focus either on the ICT tools (hands-on courses on the functionalities) or the pedagogy (theoretical-oriented sessions). We describe here 5 elements of a Learning Design methodology that uses a similar approach to the Design Thinking (DT) methodology.

An Autoethnographic Perspective of Social Entrepreneurship Focused Student Case-competitions and its impact on Entrepreneurship
Competition or competitiveness is arguably an innate human trait that drives many individuals, businesses and organizations, from the Olympics to searching a cure for AIDS. It is one of the powerful forces that pushes us to excel or reach out for more, even though the yardstick of success that we use is relative to the performance of “our competitors”.

Arguably, this is partially due to the highly centralised and institutional nature of most educational initiatives. We propose an alternative model, called the Open Education Challenge (OEC), which gives voice to educational entrepreneurs, and fosters a synergistic ecosystem, where private investors, established enterprises and entrepreneurs play a critical role alongside governments and educational institutions.

New models of innovation for education are emerging in Europe. Education is by and large a public endeavour, the responsibility of governments and international institutions.

Recently, we are seeing more and more grassroots entrepreneurship playing a disruptive role in this ecosystem. Admittedly, the entrepreneurial scene is still dominated by American players. Can that change? Does Europe have a voice of its own, which will promote different values and pedagogical approaches? What are the promises and challenges of entrepreneurship in education?
