Instructional Systems Design: The Diffusion and Adoption of Technology: (Volume 2)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Instructional designers, instructional systems designers, and other educational technologists are, by their nature, innovators. These professionals apply and extend the applied science of learning, systems, communication, and instructional design theory to help students learn. Technology in some capacity is used to make the connections between subject matter experts, teachers, instructors, and their learners. It is common for instructional designers to seek new tools, techniques, and innovations for the improvement of learning, access, quality, and student satisfaction. However, the adoption and diffusion of new educational technology and innovation is a complex process that depends on many variables. Understanding these processes and variables can help designers and technology leaders successfully implement positive change. This book serves as a brief summary of innovation diffusion models, organizational change models, and serves as an introduction to the work of a group of talented instructional designers who have explored specific aspects of educational technology adoption and diffusion. Together we hope that you find these cases, examples, and lessons learned insightful and help you plan for an innovation diffusion of your own.
