Diffusion of E-PD : 

Diffusion of E-PD Anticipated Innovators & Early Adoptors Those who need: Flexibility Accessibility Just-in-time learning Self-paced learning Change agent must meet the need of the learner and show them the advantage relative to their need. 8/11/2011 Virginia Crisanti Walden University 17 Persuasive Strategies Convenience of time, location, and selection. Time, handicapped, options. Need based, current, timely. Allows multiple levels: accelerated vs. extra time.

Anticipated laggards : 

Anticipated laggards Are those who: Persuasive Strategies Live in the Past Are suspicious of change Are resistant to change Maintain the status quo. Have limited resources/opportunities. Are cautious. Communication strategies that target the laggards. Use internet to reach them. Show positive results and rewards. Motivate slowly and in a safe environment.

PERCEIVED ATTRIBUTE CRITICAL MASS ROLE Compatibility Complexity Observability Relative advantage Trailability Courses must meet the National, State , Districts, and personal needs of educators. The more user-friendly the process is, the faster it will be adopted. Interdistrict promotion. Modeling by Administration and peers is key to adoption. The higher the perceived advantage, the faster the innovation will meet critical mass. Free offers, limited trails and customer support would increase usage. 8/11/2011 19
