- Innovation is primarily associated with pure science or technology and the term is often generalized to mean technological progress.
- Pedagogical innovation(*) can also be called scholastic innovation, in education or in training.
- Pedagogical innovation corresponds to a change that we can defines as an intentional action that aims to introduce something original into a given context, and it is pedagogical as it seeks to substantially improve student learning in a situation of interaction and interactivity.
- In a university context, pedagogical innovations are often described as everything which is not lecturing, the method still used by the overwhelming majority of professors.
