CONCEPT PAPER IDEAS • Concept should be technology based geared towards instruction, training, or development. • A real-world problem – consider upgrading or changing technology as an example or new uses for technology. • Should be an evaluation process that can be completed and produce results that can be implemented and reported.

CONCEPT PAPER 1 ST STEPS • Brainstorm for ideas – idea should be determined

CONCEPT PAPER 1 ST STEPS • Brainstorm for ideas – idea should be determined by Week 4 • Formally write out your Concept Paper’s Purpose • What is the reason for your evaluation project? • Formally write out your Concept Paper’s Rationale [this section should and can include references to support it] • Conduct a Needs Analysis too!

CONCEPT PAPER CONSIDERATIONS • Constraints – scope, time, and cost [budget] • Life cycle

CONCEPT PAPER CONSIDERATIONS • Constraints – scope, time, and cost [budget] • Life cycle – how long will the entire process take? • Knowledge areas – integration, risk, communications, and resources

CONCEPT PAPER EVALUATION SECTIONS • • Initiation – Who? What? Is involved in the

CONCEPT PAPER EVALUATION SECTIONS • • Initiation – Who? What? Is involved in the project. • Execution – How will you implement your plan? What will you need? When will you do it? • Monitoring and Controlling – implement your plan to your specific requirements and collect data. • Closing – report your data Planning – What are the steps in the process? How do you secure resources? When do you secure resources? Who needs to sign off? The more detailed your plan the better.

CONCEPT PAPER PLANNING • Think ahead • Reflect • Organize • Prepare

CONCEPT PAPER NEEDS ANALYSIS • Determine if this evaluation is needed and why •

CONCEPT PAPER NEEDS ANALYSIS • Determine if this evaluation is needed and why • Determine what evaluation method works best with your concept and why • Identify the people impacted by this evaluation • Identify any barriers to implementation • Make sure you’re able to collect data and where you’ll get it from

CONCEPT PAPER DATA • How will you collect data? Observations, questionnaires, etc. • Who

CONCEPT PAPER DATA • How will you collect data? Observations, questionnaires, etc. • Who has the info you need to collect? For example, the data might be online or may need to be collected. • Determine how and who will interpret/analyze data. Different people may do this differently • Who will produce results based on the data?

CONCEPT PAPER NEEDS • Stakeholders – who’s involved • Deliverables – what’s needed to

CONCEPT PAPER NEEDS • Stakeholders – who’s involved • Deliverables – what’s needed to be produced to show the evaluation has been implemented • Budget and schedule – how much will it cost? How long will it take? Who is paying for it? • Staffing – who is working on this? • Risks • Assumptions

CONCEPT PAPER COMMUNICATE • How do you disseminate all information? • Who receives the

CONCEPT PAPER COMMUNICATE • How do you disseminate all information? • Who receives the information and Why? • When do they receive the information?

CONCEPT PAPER DECISIONS TYPES OF DECISIONS • Optional innovation decisions • • Collective innovation

CONCEPT PAPER DECISIONS TYPES OF DECISIONS • Optional innovation decisions • • Collective innovation decisions • • Decision made by individuals, independent of the system Decision made by consensus Authority innovation decisions • Decision made by a few individuals who possess power, status or technical expertise • Mandates DECISION MAKING PROCESS • Knowledge - Awareness • Persuasion - Sell the idea • Decision - Yea or nay • Implementation - Launch • Confirmation - Confirm integration and continued use

CONCEPT PAPER ADOPTERS Innovators – create the idea Early Adopters – are easily sold

CONCEPT PAPER ADOPTERS Innovators – create the idea Early Adopters – are easily sold on the innovators idea and support it from the beginning Early Majority – join shortly after the Early Adopters Late Majority – join when the process implementation proves successful Laggards – only get behind the project when it is clear it will be Rogers, E.
