Considerably more research needs to be done to understand how successful technological innovations and change processes are sustained and scaled to new learning contexts. Without a better understanding of successful technological innovation, the wider field and education community are unable to benefit and build capacity. A model is presented that explores how research can better inform sustainability and scalability in technological innovations. It is represented as four loops: Organization, Innovation, Research and New Contexts. Three international case studies of technological innovation are analyzed to demonstrate use of the framework and model. Results show that research can be designed to support sustainability and scalability, but that this needs to be balanced with other factors to support a successful technological innovation. Implications for supporting technological innovations are explored.
为了理解技术创新和变革过程如何得以持续并推广到新的学习环境中，仍需要进行大量的研究。如果不能更好地理解成功的技术创新，更广泛的领域和教育界就无法从中受益并提升能力。本文提出了一个模型，探讨研究如何能更好地为技术创新的可持续性和可扩展性提供信息支持。该模型以四个循环来表示：组织、创新、研究和新环境。通过分析三项技术创新的国际案例研究来展示该框架和模型的应用。结果表明，可以设计研究来支持可持续性和可扩展性，但这需要与其他因素相平衡，以支持成功的技术创新。本文还探讨了对支持技术创新的启示。
