Subclaims¶

q1 i? The Center for Inclusive Innovation's OER for Racial Justice initiative did not align with any generalized structure and was best represented as a combination of catalyzer and generator structures, identified through validation with the parties and several rounds of iteration. → oer-case

q1 · i? · the article prints no effect size for this finding · design · r2

Case study of a design process engaging 13 districts, with one core district co-designing through the five-stage Inclusive Innovation process and 12 pilot districts in a community of practice. The authors report the novel structure emerged from participant validation, not from applying a preset template.

"in Digital Promise's work mapping and analyzing the Center for Inclusive Innovation's OER for Racial Justice initiative (see above), there was no clean fit with any of the generalized structures. Through validating the case study with the parties and several rounds of iteration, we were able to identify that the initiative was best represented by a combination of catalyzer and generator structures."
