Abstract
Innovation is a way of meeting changing public needs by developing new and better solutions; it is also one of the most extensively discussed issues in the academic literature and field practice. Changing students’ behaviour, increasing knowledge development, increasing parents’ involvement and new teaching methods that overtake the existing methods creates a certain necessity to develop new knowledge media in collaboration with all educational stakeholders. Under increasing competition and market pressure the innovation process has been subject to important transformation during the last 30 years. Educational publishers changed from being traditionally a “closed’, internal process, based on internal organisational expertise and structures (R&D, New Product Department, New product Management etc.) the innovation process is increasingly becoming externally oriented. Chesbrough (2003) popularized the trend of externalizing the innovation process by engaging innovation partners in what he called the Open Innovation model. With the explosion of the social media and the subsequent public empowerment the innovation process is becoming a domain where the end-users and stakeholders are often directly involved (Prahalad and Ramaswamy, 2004); Crowdsourcing and innovation with the end-users and stakeholders is becoming the new innovation norm after closed- and open innovation. In this paper we identify this trend as Online Co-Innovation and explain its main merits in relation to the implementation of the Open Discovery Space project in the Netherlands.
