Massive online open practices implemented for large scale transformation. Emergent behaviors triggered by creating a culture of visible practices and shared self evaluations according to a collective constructed rubric for activities. The search for excellence introduces an "evolutive force" into the whole educational network of a public system taken as a complex and adaptive system.

(disruptive innovation)

“educational technology” ~ 300000 students

that foster innovation and still is related to the
educational policy)

evaluations + “events” using social networks)
