Why do staff adopt or not adopt learning technologies, whether they are adopted officially or not?
Key issues impacting uptake: workload and time, knowledge and skills, staff dev & training, tools and infrastructure, lack of recognition & reward, lack of scaffolding & leadership
More recent research says the same thing - nothing much appears to have changed!
Idea of endorsed/unendorsed: internal = LMS, etc, external = Web 2.0
Standard tools used, some staff were not aware of. Beyond online video most other technology not used in teaching.
Reasons for using using/not using. Value & workload factor highly - support and (lack of) skills! Innovation and improving learning outcomes, as well as convenience for staff & students.
Non-value laden labels (lol) - disgruntled pragmatists, warriors (worry about support but battle on), perfect citizens, average citizens.
Develop strategies to encourage: broader use of learning tech with recognition of local curricula and pedagogical approaches. Not everyone has to be an innovator.
