Power Point PresentationsICT- A complex set of technologiesInternet Adoption can mean many things e.g.• Use the browser for looking at different content• Create html pages and configure its own web server.• Mobile phone users– Making calls– Sending SMS– Take advantage of full range of applications (personal organizer. E-mail, voice,video mails, banking, etc)• ICT is very useful as a supplementary effort– as a teaching aid both in synchronous and asynchronous modes.• Education policy should be designed in a way to promote multidimensionalpersonality in which ICT can play a pivotal role.Modelling diffusion of a Personalized Learning framework(Karmeshu, Raghu Raman and Prema, 2011)Generalized Diffusion Model for Personalized Learning:The differential equation giving the diffusion is described as:dNt()dt ( N( t))( M N ( t)), (1)where N(t) is the cumulative number of adopter-teacher at time, M iscarryingcapacity, a is the coefficient of innovation (mass media), and ß is thecoefficientof imitation (interactive).In terms of the fraction of potential adopter-teacher,Ft( ) Nt ()M(2 )Bass Model Can be rewritten asdNt()dt( F( t))(1 F ( t), F(t=0)=F 0 (3)where M . If Nt (0)0, the solution of eq. (1) gives evolution ofadopter-teacher as: ( ) t1 eN ( t) M (4)q ( ) t1 e p The diffusion of Personalized Learning framework is governed by:dN ( N( t)) ( M( t) N ( t)),dtdM f m N t N M t mdt( ), ( 0) 0, ( 0) 0 (5)• Stratified growth rate model:Population of Adopter-teachers will be segmented accordingto the effort required to train teachers. The segmentation canbe organized on the basis of various factors e.g. logistics,efficiency, prior related knowledge etc. Based on thesegmentation criteria, we partition the total population ofpotential adopter-teachers into k groups such thatM 1 M 2 ... M k MThe dynamic system of innovation diffusion into groups canbe described asdN 1dt...( 1 1N 1) ( M N1)1dNk ( k kNk) ( Mk N k), Ni( t 0) ni(0), i 1, 2,.., kdtKnowledge Economy• Innovations (Relevant)- Technological/ Scientificbreak through.• How to promote innovation thinking?Innovation:An outcome of creativity and knowledge .(Entails risk, one does not take risk & Fear of failure)Fig 1: Dormant StateProbability is proportional to exp[ - Height /kT ]Fig 2: Fluctuation can drive the system to a higher statewhere T is Creative Social Temperature (To energize the system )26
