The Three-E Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Technological Change (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • Evident
  • Easy to Use

      And make sure it works the first time :-)
  • Technology threatens to reorder those behavior patterns
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The first instinct is thus to graft technology onto preexisting modes of behavior. Hence PowerPoint slides replace the overhead projector, and the learning or course management system attempts to simulate an in-person classroom
  • As technologists, however, we have to realize that incremental change is the best we can hope for in many cases
  • That pace is dictated in large measure by their response to the Three E’s. We have to make them aware of the benefits realized through the effective use of technology. We have to make sure that the platforms they are forced to use are relatively easy to manipulate and conform in some way to the reality in which they exist
  • Technology of the Week” posters. We actually advertise some of the useful and interesting things that faculty can do with a particular technology. They can then go to the Curriculum Innovation Center or attend a workshop to learn how to use that technology.

      That is a great idea! Advertise then set up mtgs to teach others.

    This is a MUST read for all technology decision makers in Lutheran Schools! The Three-E Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Technological Change If you just build it, they won't come-you need to shape users' behavior by acknowledging their world view rather than your own as a technology implementer

Wired Campus: Professor Encourages Students to Pass Notes During Class -- via Twitter - Chronicle.com - 0 views

  • most of his students were unfamiliar with Twitter, the microblogging service that limits messages to 140 characters.
    • Sarah Hanawald
       
      See--just because they're young doesn't mean they know everything digital!
  • others in the class would respond with notes encouraging the student to raise the topic out loud.
    • Sarah Hanawald
       
      Citizenship!
  • I’m not a full-time faculty member,” he said. “I use my classrooms as an applied-research lab to decide what to promote as new solutions for our campus.”
    • Sarah Hanawald
       
      All ed tech people should think of themselves this way and keep teaching in "applied-research labs"

  • I couldn’t help thinking that it sounded like a recipe for chaos, and I told him so
  • He couldn’t get two screens, so he had students bring in their laptops
    • Mark Chambers
       
      Skip the screens and the laptops and go straight to the phones :-)
  •  
    Is encouraging a "back-stream" of communication helpful or counter-productive in class?
  •  
    What about trying this during a faculty meeting at school? Probably using cover it live instead of twitter just to make it accessible to all. I really like the notion that when Ed Tech faculty teaches, it should be a lab environment.

The Three-E Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Technological Change (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • According to a 2007 Pew/Internet study,1 49 percent of Americans only occasionally use information and communication technology. Of the remaining 51 percent, only 8 percent are what Pew calls omnivores, “deep users of the participatory Web and mobile applications.”
  • Shaping user behavior is a “soft” problem that has more to do with psychological and social barriers to technology adoption. Academia has its own cultural mores, which often conflict with experimenting with new ways of doing things. Gardner Campbell put it nicely last year when he wrote, “For an academic to risk ‘failure’ is often synonymous with ‘looking stupid in front of someone’.”2 The safe option for most users is to avoid trying something as risky as new technology.
  • The first instinct is thus to graft technology onto preexisting modes of behavior.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • First, a technology must be evident to the user as potentially useful in making his or her life easier (or more enjoyable). Second, a technology must be easy to use to avoid rousing feelings of inadequacy. Third, the technology must become essential to the user in going about his or her business. This “Three-E Strategy,” if applied properly, has been at the core of every successful technology adoption throughout history.
  • Technology must be easy and intuitive to use for the majority of the user audience—or they won’t use it.
  • Complexity, however, remains a potent obstacle to realizing the goal of making technology easy. Omnivores (the top 8 percent of users) revel in complexity. Consider for a moment how much time some people spend creating clothes for their avatars in Second Life or the intricacies of gameplay in World of Warcraft. This complexity gives the expert users a type of power, but is also a turnoff for the majority of potential users.
  • Web 2.0 and open source present another interesting solution to this problem. The user community quickly abandons those applications they consider too complicated.
  • any new technology must become essential to users
  • Finally, we have to show them how the enhanced communication made possible through technologies such as Web 2.0 will enhance their efficiency, productivity, and ability to teach and learn.

Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • The meeting made me want to be more outspoken about these issues and in particular be outspoken about the vast amounts of data collected about our personal lives.”
    • Bruce Vigneault
       
      We seem to be guilty of putting too much personal information out there about ourselves willing. Look at our children on Facebook!
  • A physician told him afterward that it was wonderful that the system responded to human emotion. “That’s a great idea,” Dr. Horvitz said he was told. “I have no time for that.”

      That is truely sad!
