EU4ALL offers technical innovation where social innovation is still
needed!
OER-HE Workshop, Leuven, 04/03/11 9
Diffusion of Innovation, but…
- It helps with the planning of dissemination activities- First estimate of target groups for communication - But it is not predictive- Lack of practical guidelines
- How to find the early adopters?
Social Innovation perspective …

Potential Early
Adopters
National norms and policies are influencing decisions regarding accessibility (e.g. UK)
HE institutions already offering online education
Open and distance education institutions in general that combine both high number of SWD and technological learning services
Institutions with a higher number of SWD, … they feel a real need to improve their services
Prioritise
Find the early adopters
• The strategy consists in approaching the most promising institutions first
• Start with direct contacts, find institutions with a positive attitudes towards innovation, open to change
