Hi Folks,<div><br></div><div>I was delighted to see this quote from the Champions research that I was involved with. We used this quote from another fine piece of Australian research by one of our Flexible Learning Leaders, Marie Jasinski, (now deceased). I had the very great pleasure of working with her on that and then to disseminate the research on her behalf.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for alerting us to the Florida example. Are they using that research too? I am now inspired to go look at that site.</div><div><br clear="all">Carole McCulloch<br>elearning consultant<br>Macro Dimensions <a href="http://coachcarole.wordpress.com">http://coachcarole.wordpress.com</a> <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Folks,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A colleague at my school alerted me to this great resource:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><a href="http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/index.html" target="_blank">http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/index.html</a>
- </span>Established in 1982, the Florida Center for Instructional Technology
(FCIT) has been a leader in working with educators to integrate technology into
the curriculum<span lang="EN-AU"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It has a slightly different criteria set to the epotential
used by Vic govt. schools.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Victorian – Foundation , Emergent, Innovative,
Transformative</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Florida - Entry , Adoption, Adaptation, Infusion ,
Transformation </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both models align slightly differently with the definition
of “embedding eLearning “ -- See <a href="http://www.flexiblelearning.net.au/files/E-learning_Champions_Final_Report.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.flexiblelearning.net.au/files/E-learning_Champions_Final_Report.pdf</a>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span>Embedding
is:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt">“The final stage of an innovation
process that starts with an initial decision to engage (adoption),</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt">moves to spreading the word (diffusion),
consolidates in utilisation (implementation), and</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt">culminates in embedding.”</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">(Jasinksi,
2006, p. 1)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Either way, the Florida resource is excellent
with videos of how each stage has been addressed with videos and excellent
supplementary material.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
