Abstract
In this concluding chapter, we discuss how process-oriented learning practices and learner-centred designs, including those mediated through technology, might be diffused throughout an educational system. We will tie together the three major sections of the book, namely learner-, school- or school district-, and system-adaptivities. Consistent with Chap. 16, this final chapter attempts to integrate the three levels of analysis, and revisits the issues of adaptivities, threading together the contributed chapters in this volume, into a coherent framing of varied and continuous diffusion of micro-cultures throughout the system.
