The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM): A Model for Change in Individuals. on The National Academies site, reprinted with permission from the chapter entitled "Professional Development for Science Education: A Critical and Immediate Challenge," by Susan Loucks-Horsley. "The model (and other developmental modesl of its type) holds that people considering and experiencing change evolve in the kinds of questions they ask and in their use of whatever the change is..."

Mentioned in Engaging Faculty thread in Jam as theory that claims to predict who would be willing to adopt a technology.

"New technology presents risk for many customers. They react differently toward this risk based on their innate characteristics, the wants and needs of their companies, and the behavior of other buyers. The Technology Adoption Life Cycle (TALC) models how different groups of customers adopt to discontinuous innovation at different times. This model helps high-tech marketers build the best strategy for each phase of a product's life. The graphic below shows the markets that develop along the TALC and the types of customers that dominate them."

By Katherine Stevenson and Louis Zweier in Educause Quarterly (EQ) vol 34 (4), 2011. This model, developed at California State University, Northridge, pairs a supplemental hybrid course with an existing math course as an added intervention for students.

This project is a Wave 1 grantee.

This is the project page for cPLTL, a '"cyber" evolution of Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) to an online format.' From the overview, "PLTL is a model of teaching that preserves the lecture and replaces recitation in science courses with a weekly two-hour session. During these interactive sessions (workshops), six to eight students work as a team to solve carefully constructed problems under the guidance of a peer leader." With web conferencing, students can work virtually.

This project is a wave 1 grantee.

Home page for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Cyberlearning Transforming Education program's Summit. Summit organized by SRI International and the Lawrence Hall of Science, with key support from the National Geographic Society, to advance the vision of the future of learning with a goal towards scalable and sustainable development in STEM education. Mentioned in Deeper Learning thread in context of others using data mining approach and building models.

Classroom Salon, developed at Carnegie Mellon, is a tool that encourages active learning, with readers able to annotate and tag directly into the text, highlighting passages of interest. Initially developed to help students improve their writing, it is also being used in other learning and training projects.

Classroom Salon is being used with a blended learning project (developed at Univesrrity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) as part of a Wave 1 grantee project, titled "A Socially Centric Blended Learning Model for at risk Youths at an Urban University"

Definition taken from Wikipedia.org. Bayesian network is a method of looking at probability.

Jammer David Gibson explained that his massive online game uses a Bayesian network to understand where each user has gone in the game and how each user has played. The network will help to establish badges.
