The uptake of CAA in UK higher education (HE) on a large scale lags behind
the expectations of CAA specialists. A research project was undertaken with
the aim of discovering and addressing the underlying reasons for this. The
research was conducted according to Strauss and Corbin’s (1998)
prescription for grounded theory (GT) research. During three years a 200 000
word dataset was compiled from a national survey by questionnaire and
interview with tutors, learning technologists, managers and QA staff. This
article describes the dual-path theory of CAA uptake that emerged from an
analysis of this dataset. Ways in which dual-path theory might be used to
understand and improve CAA uptake are proposed.
