Abstract
This research is linked to important questions currently being asked by educationists in China. For example, what can 21st century cutting-edge technology contribute to a relatively undeveloped education system in China? To what extent can innovative instructional design improve education in China? What are the strengths and limitations of using e-learning in such set-tings? This paper reports on a longitudinal study by the Pearl River Delta Network of Science Learning Centers in China, examining how affordance of electronic-learning framework might enhance learners’ creativity and innovativeness. This becomes increasingly challenging at a time when most progressive institutions around the world are promoting creative learning that orient around thinking and reflection, experience and activity, conversation and interaction. The paper investigates the strategic potential of a conceptual model and discusses its implications for technology integration, alignment and convergence on Chinese learners’ creativity and engagement in the Knowledge Age.
