In my experience in education the educators have not been resistant to technology due to change itself rather the cost factors associated with it deter investment in new technologies. Higher education seems to accept technology in a different light and if it were not for the high cost many seem to desire to invest in the latest and greatest options. Outside of the cost factor the training and learning curve for new technology is challenging for educators to fully grasp, and the effective integration of programs and software in a corporate education environment offers issues that take a great level of commitment.
In a corporate environment, if the decision is made to invest in a new technology resources to make sure the technology is properly and effectively implemented are also often invested in the process. This provides an atmosphere of technological acceptance and an excitement to seek out the latest and greatest in order to make the company better at what it does.
The hope for educators is the creation and availability of cost effective solutions to classroom issues, including LMS and CMS tools, assessment creation, and media resources.
