A Design-based Research Strategy to Promote Scalability for Educational Innovations.

Overview

This article offers insights into how the design of innovations can enhance their
"scalability": the ability to adapt an innovation to effective usage in a wide variety of
contexts, including settings where major conditions for success are absent or attenuated.
We are implementing the River City MUVE curriculum, a technology-based innovation
designed to enhance engagement and learning in middle school science, in a range of
educational contexts. Based on our studies of these scaling up activities, we offer
examples of design strategies for scalability and describe our plan to develop a
"scalability index."
