Matching Innovation to Need (NationMaster.com, n.d.)
Critical Mass: Cell Phone In a span of only 20 years, wireless services have reached almost 50 percent of the world’s population. There are now more than 3 billion mobile subscribers globally, a number expected to grow to 4.5 billion by 2012. (TrainingIndusty Inc. (2010)
NEW MEDIA(um) Technology
Need: Technology Uses for social networks 26%; tutoring other students 24%; playing an online game or simulation 18%; finding experts to help 13%; (Speak Up Report, 2009)
Need: Technology Uses posting to a blog 12%; sending tweet about topic 10%; starting a wiki or blog 9%; creating video/podcast to share knowledge 8%; finding an online tutor 7% (Speak Up Report, 2009)
Research: m-learning A number of institutions are utilizing cell phones in a variety of ways to enhance learning. Notable: International Society for Technology in Education | Home.
Research: Digital Storytelling Others are using digital storytelling and have begun to explore the cell phone as a development media: http://www.storycenter.org/ http://electronicportfolios.org/digistory/ http://www.storymapping.org/ http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/resource/2392
Strategies for Adoption Innovators: Teaching and Learning Center Associates Early Adopters: Introduction via Workshop Classroom trial Laggards: uncomfortable with new technology not necessarily uncomfortable with cell phones (Rogers, 2003)
Strategies for Adoption Diffusion: decentralized through peers Among the faculty Opinion Leaders and Change Agents will provide feedback on their experiences. (Rogers, 2003)
Critical Mass: m-learning Four strategies for achieving critical mass Invite Program Managers and Department Chairs They invite department members who are opinion leaders/change agents Stipends will be provided (Rogers, 2003)
Critical Mass: m-learning • Attributes or Strategies to Appeal to Faculty • relative advantage • compatibility • complexity • observably • (Rogers, 2003)
