“…The current research explored the process of adopting and implementing ML in classroom teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, as experienced by both inservice teachers (IST) and preservice teachers (PST), using Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DIT) as a theoretical framework. Given that these processes are influenced first and foremost by the people experiencing them (Tatnall & Davey, 2003), we chose a qualitative approach that highlights one's subjective experiences. Rogers' DIT (2003) is a well-established empirical framework (Miller, 2015) that conceptualizes the process of innovation diffusion, and can likewise be applied to the process of innovation adoption, specifically, to the adoption of educational technology in the field of education (Jwaifell & Gasaymeh, 2013).…”

Using mobile learning (ML) has become exceedingly relevant in times of distant teaching. Although much is known about the factors affecting ML usage, less is known about the ML adoption process under constraints such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this exploratory case study was to gain insight into the ML adoption process using the lens of Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory. Participants were in-service (32) and preservice (29) teachers who attended ML training. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews (20), focus groups (6), and participants' reflections (183) at three time points. Data underwent multilevel analysis (content and linguistic analysis), revealing 12 themes that denote the ML adoption process and demonstrated intergroup similarities and differences. The study provides theoretical insight into the ML adoption process under crisis and highlights the features that must be addressed to promote optimal ML adoption in teacher education in both routine and emergency conditions.

“…In ANT, translation (Law, 1992) can be defined as: "... the means by which one entity gives a role to others" (Singleton & Michael, 1993, p. 229). Using an innovation translation approach to consider how the adoption of mobile medical technology occurs, it is necessary to examine the interactions of all the actors involved (Tatnall & Davey, 2003).…”

In an environment of escalating healthcare costs, chronic disease management is particularly challenging, since, by definition such diseases have no foreseeable cure and if poorly managed typically lead to further, complicated secondary health issues, which ultimately only serve to exacerbate cost. Diabetes is one of the leading chronic diseases and its prevalence continues to rise exponentially. Thus it behooves all to focus on solutions that can result in superior management of this disease. Hence, this article presents findings from a longitudinal exploratory case study that examined the application of a pervasive technology solution; a mobile phone, to provide superior diabetes self-care. Notably, the benefits of a pervasive technology solution for supporting superior self-care in the context of chronic disease are made especially apparent when viewed through the rich lens of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and thus the paper underscores the importance of using ANT in such contexts to facilitate a deeper understanding of all potential advantages.

“…As an employee moves through the factory to use different machines this safety information is made available through wireless networking. Software on the machine recognises the Tablet PC of a new operator and automatically downloads content to the Tablet PC which configures this to what it has determined to be the learning style of the employee (Tatnall and Davey 2003). What factors determine the likelihood of adoption of this innovation?…”

“…One difference between the two approaches to theorising innovation is that Innovation Diffusion concentrates more of the characteristics of the technology while Innovation Translation tries to look beyond this to the human and non-human interactions involved. (Further details of this research can be found in (Tatnall and Davey 2003). )…”

Innovation Translation and Innovation Diffusion

The process of innovation involves getting new ideas accepted and new technologies adopted and used. A number of approaches to the theorising of technological innovation exist, but this article will compare and contrast just two: Innovation Diffusion and Innovation Translation, giving examples of how each approach is used in different situations. While there are many advantages to use of a Translation approach, it is too simplistic to suggest that Translation always offers a better approach than Diffusion, and the article proposes that perhaps it should not be a case of either one approach or the other but the use of whichever is most appropriate to a particular investigation.
