This process can be rem arkably effective but do es require that someo ne have the forethought to shoot the HDRI image and utilize it. Considering the chaotic nature of production I b elieve that the digital lighting compositor will b e a viable occupation for some time.

This story connects the rise of the personal computer, groundbreaking innovations, and the ascendance of mega corporate players while interweaving the emergence of the game engine, virtual reality, and real-time reality simulation.

Less commonly taught language (LCTL) instruction was targeted because the higher attrition rates serve as an innovation motivation and possibly serve a future purpose as a BL efficacy performance indicator. The literature review documented the importance and challenges of postsecondary foreign language education in the U.S., technological and corporate innovations in foreign language instruction, and the importance of educators’ attitudes towards institution-wide BL adoption towards sufficient data gathering. Using two state language departments, a small sample of LCTL faculty stakeholders were interviewed for a qualitative study about instructor attitudes towards BL adoption. Their attitudes were evaluated to support future research towards institution-wide adoption and implementation of BL following the Graham, Woodfield, & Harrison (2012) three stage BL adoption framework.
For this study, the focus was on stakeholders’ readiness for stage 1 Awareness and Exploration only. Research questions were based on the Clark and Este’s (2008) Gap Analysis framework designed to identify stakeholders’ key knowledge, motivation, and organizational influences. The research questions included (1) What are educators’ knowledge and motivation related to the adoption of blended learning? and (2) What is the interaction between organizational culture and context and educators’ knowledge and motivation?
The qualitative design was triangulated by an organizational scan, interviews, and documents. Findings were that stage 1 BL adoption was not applicable at this time due to the need for improved communication between the university and faculty and the need to engage faculty in policy and innovation. Recommendations were grouped by knowledge, motivation, and organizational influences with corresponding internal and external outcomes, critical behaviors, drivers, course metrics and evaluations.
