创新学习团队（Innovation Corps for Learning，I-Corps-L）是美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）和美国工程教育学会（American Society for Engineering Education，ASEE）的一项试点计划，旨在研究NSF I-Corps模式是否有助于传播和扩大教育创新。NSF I-Corps根据既定的创业战略指导团队，使用Blank的Lean LaunchPad和Osterwalder的Business Model Canvas以及相关工具，培养创业技能，鼓励将新兴技术应用于主流。最重要的目标是通过帮助加快有效的教育创新的规模化进程，提高学生在关键STEM课程中的学习和成功率。I-Corps-L的项目目标是调查I-Corps模式在教育界培养创业心态的潜力，以影响创新的设计和实施方式。这项正在进行的工作描述了I-Corps-L试点项目的特点，并初步说明了其在宣传、推广和维持教育创新方面的适用性。解决STEM教育中持续存在的挑战，采用循证教学实践是一项迫切需要，因为已经尝试了许多方法，但采用率和采用程度都很低。
The Innovation Corps for Learning (I-Corps-L) is a pilot initiative from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) to study whether the NSF I-Corps model can help to propagate and scale educational innovations. The NSF I-Corps guides teams based on established strategies for business start-ups, using Blank's Lean LaunchPad and Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas and associated tools, to build entrepreneurial skills that will encourage mainstream application of their emerging technologies. The overriding goal is improving student learning and success rates in key STEM courses by helping to accelerate the process of bringing effective educational innovations to scale. The project goal of I-Corps-L is to investigate the potential of the I-Corps model for fostering an entrepreneurial mindset within the education community to impact the way innovations are designed and implemented. This Work in Progress describes the features of the I-Corps-L pilot and provides preliminary indications of its applicability for propagating, scaling and sustaining education innovations. Addressing the persistent challenge in STEM education to adopt evidence-based instructional practices is an urgent need as many approaches have been tried yet the rate and extent of adoption are very low.
