Abstract
In order to move the adoption of mobile Seamless learning to a broader and more sustainable level in secondary education, it is important to gain insight into perspectives of various stakeholders (e.g. managers, teachers) that influence acceptance and adoption processes. Apparently, stakeholders perceive specific benefits as well as barriers in adopting seamless learning scenario’s in their daily educational practices, as Pegrum et al. (2013) concluded after studying adoption in Australian primary schools. We wanted to see whether these perceived benefits and barriers were comparable for Dutch secondary schools. Therefore, we organized a workshop with various stakeholders (teachers, school management, policy makers) in Dutch secondary education to obtain insight in the factors they considered important in order to adopt seamless learning scenarios on a broader and lasting scale. In the workshop we used the Disney-model for brainstorming, reacting to a statement as either a ‘Dreamer’, ‘Realist’ or ‘Critic’, to gain a broader insight in the problem domain. The workshop was organised in two rounds with 26 participants in total. Associations were written on post-its and analysed bottom-up, thus resulting in factors affecting adoption of seamless learning scenario’s in daily educational practice. Results provide insight in how a broad group of stakeholders perceives both the benefits, realistic arrangements as well as the barriers to broad and sustainable adoption of mobile seamless learning in Dutch secondary schools.
