An ILE supports innovative teaching and learning practices, technology-enhanced learning, and evaluation and comparison of ICT (information and communication technology) used in education. ILEs should align with the OECD's "7+3" Framework" - maintaining seven Learning Principles as fundamental to all activities and design plus three additional dimensions to optimize the conditions for putting the Principles into practice (hence 7+3):
i. Innovate the pedagogical core of the learning environment, whether the core elements (learners, educators, content and learning resources) or the dynamics which connect them (pedagogy and formative evaluation, use of time and the organisation of educators and learners), or combinations of both.
ii. Become “formative organizations” with strong learning leadership constantly informed by evidence about the learning achieved through different strategies and innovations.
iii. Be open to partnerships by working with families and communities, higher education, cultural institutions, media, businesses and especially other schools and learning environments, in ways that directly shape the pedagogical core and the learning leadership.
