Abstract:This hands-on seminar addresses the driving forces behind educational technology change and helps participants outline strategies for how their institutions can deal with these changes from the theoretical "innovation adoption" and "change process" perspectives as well as practical approaches. We will present a case study of the process used at the University of Missouri-Columbia including statistics to collect, partnerships important to nurture, and "costs" to consider in a successful migration scenario. Participants will then work on developing consolidation/migration plans and discuss those strategies.
