Scalability
is a characteristic of a system, model or function that describes its capability to cope and perform under an increased or expanding workload. A system that scales well will be able to maintain or even increase its level of performance or efficiency when tested by larger operational demands (

15.
Making a course scalable referred to the process to increase course capacity and to allow more students to enroll in one section or to allow more than one faculty member to teach the same course in different sections ( Graves & Twigg, 2006 ). The overall intent in scaling higher education is to expand capacity and efficiency often using technology or less expensive personnel (Kahn, 2014 AU44: The in-text citation "Kahn, 2014" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ; NCAT, 2014 ).

Scalability
refers to the ability of the trusted infrastructure to scale, usually in terms of the number of participants. A secondary aspect of
scalability
is scaling geographically, as scaling beyond national boundaries often poses certain problems. As discussed in section 3,
scalability
should be seen from the perspective of the individual participant making bilateral trust decisions, as well as the total scale of the infrastructure and its ability to grow. It is the purpose of this chapter to give guidelines for building trusted infrastructures that will grow to a global scale.

Frequently used as a magic incantation to indicate that something is badly designed or broken. Often you hear in a discussion “but that doesn’t scale” as the magical word to end an argument. This is often an indication that developers are running into situations where the architecture of their system limits their ability to grow their service. If
scalability
is used in a positive sense it is in general to indicate a desired property, as in “our platform needs good
scalability
.”
