Title:Early Followers versus Early Adopters: The Use of Technology as a Change Lever Leads to Increased Learning and Decreased Costs in a Computer Fluency Course (ID: EDU0004)
Author(s):Carl Alphonce (University at Buffalo), Helene G. Kershner (University at Buffalo), Deborah Walters (University at Buffalo), and Debra T. Burhans (University at Buffalo)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2000)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Many early adopters of educational technology report increased costs, both in technology and in faculty time. This research shows how early followers can decrease costs by using existing on-line supplementary materials and a redesigned course structure that increases face-to-face contact and provides multiple means for students to learn course concepts.
