Description

The article proposes a conceptual framework of three interacting themes for examining how CSCL research creates innovation in classrooms: "context and systemic change, capacity and community building, and innovation as a process of inquiry." These themes organize the analysis of knowledge-building innovation in Hong Kong across macro, meso, and micro levels of the educational ecological system. The framework treats innovation as emergent changes at nested system levels rather than a single-site implementation.
