User adoption. modelling, measuring and planning for successAlice Sowerby
How can we track the progress of people from first contact to qualified user of a product? In Open Source our users can be almost invisible. Using models for diffusion of innovation and stages of commitment I'll talk about how to understand how to model the User Adoption of a product and apply this to real data that you already have such as Google Analytics. We'll then look at actionable steps to provide tailored support for users based on the current stage of your users through the adoption process.
Color: Relationships and Perceptions of ColorTroy Tarpley
Color can convey a mood, describe reality, or codify information. Words like “gloomy”, drab” and glittering” each bring to mind a general climate of colors, a palette of relationships. Designers use color to make something stand out, for example light a yield sign or warning sign. Designers also use colors to make other things disappear, like camouflage. Color serves to differentiate and connect, to highlight and to hide.

Agricultural Media Convergence: Course IntroductionTroy Tarpley
Welcome to the first lecture of AGRI 4094, Agricultural Media Convergence. In this lecture you will learn what you need to do in order to be successful in the course.
For most with some knowledge of photography or design, the rule of thirds is the first composition or design rule that they learned about. And that is for good reason. It is a solid rule that has been around for a long time. In this lesson you will explore the rule, how it relates to videography, and how to break the rule.
In the most simplest terms, composition is how different elements of a photo are arranged. You as the photographer get to decide how many elements you choose to include in your shot. It could be many or a few elements. Composition is also how you as an artists choose to arrange the elements in the frame. In this lesson you will get an introduction to composition and what it means for video.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. The Innovation-Decision Process
• Consists of a series of choices and actions over
time
• Evaluation of the new idea and decision
whether to incorporate into ongoing practice
• Behavior consists of dealing with uncertainty
4. The Innovation-Decision Process
1. Knowledge
Occurs when individual is exposed to an innovation (existence and
function)
2. Persuasion
Occurs when individual forms favorable/unfavorable attitude toward
the innovation
3. Decision
Takes place when individual engages in activities that lead to a
choice
4. Implementation
Occurs when individuals put a new idea into use
5. Confirmation
Seeks reinforcement of an innovation-decision already made
6. The Knowledge Stage
• Awareness knowledge
– What is it?
• Change agent note: mass media or interpersonal?
• How-to knowledge
– How does it work?
• Change agent note: Technical or anecdotal?
• Principles knowledge
– Why does it work?
• Change agent note: Whose job is it?
7. The Persuasion Stage
• Favorable or unfavorable attitude
– Attitude is an individual’s belief about an object
that predisposes his/her actions
• Main stage of “thinking” is affective
– Feeling (gut or informed)
• More psychologically involved with an
innovation
– Actively seeks information about the innovation
8. The Persuasion Stage
• Decides on credible sources
– What information is credible?
– How should I interpret this information?
• Perceived attributes of the innovation are
formed
• Uncertainty reduction
– What are some ways to reduce uncertainty?
• Persuasion should lead to adoption or
rejection
10. The Decision Stage
• Full adoption or partial adoption
– Does it matter?
• Trials often lead to adoption
– Some adopt innovations without trials, but
majority will reject unless uncertainty is very low
• Change agent note: Relative advantage is key!
• Rejection can occur at ANY stage of the
decision process!
13. The Implementation Stage
• Occurs when an individual or other
decision-making unit puts an
innovation to use
• Uncertainty still exists
– Active information seeking is still going
on
15. Implementation in Organizations
• More problems occur than with
individuals
– Structure of organization
• People making decisions are not always
implementing the innovation
• Resistance
16. Re-invention
• The degree to which an innovation is
changed or modified by a user in the
process of its adoption and
implementation
• Re-invention occurs most in the
implementation stage
– Why in this stage?
20. Why re-invention occurs
• Clean air ordinances
– Innovations do not always “fit” perfectly
in a system
• Nordic Walking
– Transferability
21. Re-invention occurs when:
– An innovation is complex and difficult to
understand
– An individual lacks detailed knowledge
(principles knowledge) about the innovation
– An innovation has multiple uses or
applications.
– An innovation is implemented in order to solve
a wide range of users’ problems
– A change agency influences its clients to
modify or adapt an innovation
– An innovation must be adapted to the
structure of the organization that adopting it
– Later adopters profit from the experiences
gained by earlier adopters
22. The Confirmation Stage
• Individual or decision-making unit
seeks reinforcement for the
innovation-decision already made
• May reverse decision based on
conflicting messages
• Two Ds
– Dissonance and discontinuance
23. Dissonance
• An uncomfortable state of mind an
individual seeks to reduce or eliminate
• In confirmation stage, individual is
trying to persuade himself/herself if
they made the correct decision to
adopt an innovation
24. Discontinuance
• Occurs when individual or decision-
making unit rejects an innovation
after adopting it
• Two types:
– Replacement
• Discontinue to adopt a new innovation that
supersedes it
– Disenchantment
• Discontinue because of dissatisfaction
25. Fads vs. trends
• Fads = short term
– Slap bracelets
– Crocs
• Trends = staying power
– The Green Revolution
– Organic Foods
• Why the difference?
