Scholars suggested that scalability, sustainability, and creativity are critical components of any learning programs (Shadiev et al., 2017). Clarke, Dede, Ketelhut, and Nelson (2006) defined scalability as an ability of learning programs to be adapted in a wide variety of contexts and they used the term sustainability to refer to an ability of learning programs to remain in use. How to consider the above three abilities in learning design becomes very critical to get a success in education, advanced technologies change learning curricula a lot and give opportunities to evolve traditional classroom/school learning to integrate real practice and application in authentic contexts, thereby thorough and complete learning design concerning scalability, sustainability and creativity possibly obtained. The goal of learning programs in authentic contexts supported by advanced educational technologies should achieve their larger scalability, longer sustainability, and higher cognition development, which is called as Big Education, which is different from traditional learning. Although many works and studies have considered the applications of advanced educational technologies to support learning programs, there are not many studies which focus on these three important dimensions (i.e. scalability, sustainability, and creativity). Taking this into account, there is a need to propose new idea, such as Big Education, which considers the above approaches, techniques, methods, and processes in this field.
