Example: connection of the theory

Summary of the Theory

• Sudden increase of laptop theft of AIU male and female students

• Hostel security has been breached. • Insecure of AIU students’ laptops

Diffusion of innovation theory is the perspective that can help us understand what and how people learn by observing others. It is also an important reference to help develop a program theory (Chen 1990). 

As a result of the increase of laptops stolen, l will create an informative poster in three days written in English with five pictures showing five ways of strict securing laptops of 768 worried male and female AIU students by installing one tracking system on their laptops (Mat Hanson, 2012).

The application of diffusion theory to instructional technology is useful for examining how technological proponents can apply the diffusion of innovations theory to increase the adoption of technological programs in schools (Surry and Farquhar, 1997).

• Male and female AIU students can understand and follow the pictures shown on the poster as how the theory works.

• Male And female AUI students can read, understand short English written sentences.

• Poster can be the solution for the safe keeping of the targeted asset.

• A poster displayed on every notice boards in AIU room can increase awareness on laptop securing to reduce the number of thefts on laptops.

• Some students do not check anything on the notice boards. Solution - pursued them on Facebook to look on the notice boards as there will be educative information (Heather Wolpert ).

• I may not get help through funding. Solution – make a proposal to the suniversity.• Unfamiliar with software instillation. Solution: contact me for any help regarding

the installation (Jack Herrick).

Male and female AIU students can follow in the morning, afternoon and at night the informative poster about laptop safeguarding, tracking and maintenance (Mat Hanson, 2012) with four pictures to safe keep their laptops every day.

Day 1: search and select relevant picturesDay 2: Design and editing the pictureDay 3: Create the poster Day 4: Check for mistakes and

rectify themDay 5: Stick the poster to the wallsDay 6: Reading and following the poster Day 7: Evaluation of people reading it
