That tweet seemed to strike a chord with some people and I can understand why. For me, it was bought on following a couple of weeks of analysing use statistics for a university LMS and observing that the use rate remains similar (slightly lower in fact) than Rogers†(Rogers, 2003) numbers for innovators and early adopters combined (2.5% for innovators and 13.5% for early adopters). This is after eleven years of using a university wide LMS. I am sure that this is the case for the majority of traditional universities.
