Teacher Adoption of Moodle LMS: A K-12 Diffusion Study
Gagnon, Daniel A.
Online Submission
This paper describes the diffusion of Moodle within Cherokee County Schools. The diffusion is evaluated using the Bass Model and the RIPPLES model in order to evaluate relative success or failure. The Bass Model of Diffusion was calculated utilizing forecasting by analogy in order to analyze the adoption rates in a county high school. The adoption of Moodle was then analyzed using the RIPPLES model to understand why the adoption rates were below the projected Bass model adoption figures. (Contains 5 figures.)
