The document discusses the challenges faced by late adopters of the Moodle platform in educational settings, focusing on their reluctance, reticence, and resistance to adopting new technologies. It highlights barriers to change, including fears and perceived costs, and outlines strategies for effective change management, such as Lewin's model and the concept of minimum viable presence. The importance of resilience, both emotionally and technically, is emphasized as critical for successful adaptation to new teaching methods.

Rogers, M.R. (1995) Diffusion of Innovations, 2nd edn. London: MacMillan.
- 7. @stephendann Reticence • Resisting the desire not to ask – not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily • “Everyone else can do this already, why can’t I?” Don’t tell people you’re tracking data on the help menu functions
- 8. @stephendann Resistance • Just because I’m last, non- compliant, and doing things the hardest way I can, it doesn’t mean I’m wrong
