<br>===========================================
<br>*Overview*
<br>-----------------------------------------------------------
<br>Co-creation is a term encompassing various forms of active stakeholder 
<br>engagement and collaboration aiming at (i) innovation and research 
<br>results that are more relevant and responsive to society, (ii) wider and 
<br>more efficient adoption of research and innovation, (iii) integration of 
<br>society in innovation, and (iv) stronger ties of innovation with the 
<br>individual end user/consumer. A multitude of approaches has emerged to 
<br>support this aim including co-design, co-production, participatory 
<br>design, Design-based Research, Research-based Design, Living Labs and 
<br>DevOps, which we subsume under the term co-creation All of them have a 
<br>strong ethos of equally valuing and involving the experience, expertise 
<br>and creativity of all members of a user community and wider society 
<br>(Sanders & Stappers, 2008). Co-creation is also an important means to 
<br>adhere to the EU’s Responsible Research and Innovation agenda and part 
<br>of the ‘Science with and for the Society’ objective (Horizon 2020, 2018).
<br>Within the TEL domain, co-creation plays a particularly important role 
<br>as design and development move from relatively well understood 
<br>school-based or formal learning contexts into less structured and less 
<br>well understood areas such as informal learning, workplace learning, and 
<br>continuing professional development. Crucially, the use, effectiveness, 
<br>and impact of these co-creation approaches in the TEL community needs to 
<br>be better understood, allowing for the implementation of replicable 
<br>studies as well as valid research insights meeting the standards of the 
<br>TEL community at the same time.
<br>Some key questions have still not been sufficiently addressed:
<br>-          What co-creation approaches are used in the TEL community?
<br>-          What are the issues facing co-creation in TEL?
<br>-          What is the impact of using co-creation in TEL?
<br>-          How to scale up co-creation activities in TEL?
<br>These simple questions tap into some foundational issues regarding 
<br>co-creation in Technology Enhanced Learning. The approaches for 
<br>integrating co-creation in TEL address interesting topics like 
<br>taxonomies of co-creative approaches, TEL workflow support and, 
<br>specifically, interfacing existing pipelines of TEL (AGILE development, 
<br>Problem Based Learning, etc.) with the principles and practicalities of 
<br>co-creation. The issues challenging co-creative TEL mainly focus on 
<br>maintaining the open ended volatile creativity of co-creation, while at 
<br>the same time adhering to definitive, well-structured pedagogical, 
<br>technological and academic good practices. The impactof co-creative TEL, 
<br>while self-evident at the high level of discourse, touches into 
<br>challenging topics like removing cross-disciplinary barriers, 
<br>integrating diverse best practices and transforming simple topical 
<br>collaboration into a true impact multiplier. As well, we invite critical 
<br>reflectionson co-creation addressing restrictive issues and barriers 
<br>such as the need for extensive research resources, compromises between 
<br>stakeholders or adoption of conservative technologies, for example, as 
<br>well as strategies to cope with them. Finally, the activities that scale 
<br>upco-creative TEL, provide the most fertile, but also challenging, 
<br>ground for tapping into the methodological strengths of co-creation as a 
<br>concept and method. Crowdsourcing, open code and design, emergent ad-hoc 
<br>creative commons, all are tools in the co-creative arsenal that need to 
<br>be utilized appropriately so as to allow for the graceful and swift 
<br>growth of all TEL aspects, from content creation all the way to 
<br>dissemination and wider accessibility. Given this outline the following 
<br>Topics of Interest for submissions in this Special Issue emerged.
<br>
