Conditions that Facilitate the Implementation of Educational Technology Innovations

Donald P. Ely

Open publisher page 424 citations

Abstract

Eight conditions that facilitate the adoption, implementation, and institutionalization of educational technology innovations are described and applications to the transfer of portable software are suggested. The conditions: dissatisfaction with the status quo, knowledge and skills, resources, time, rewards, participation, commitment, and leadership. Potential outcomes for using the conditions to review the likely level of portability of an educational software product in terms of its implementation in local sites are suggested.
