If history of universities were compressed to 15-week term . . .

• First university - 15 weeks ago

• First textbook in US - 6 weeks ago

• First distance learning course - 3 weeks ago

• Carnegie hour - 2 weeks ago

• First online course - 2.5 days ago

• Approval of competencies - 1 day ago

• First commercial MOOC - 6 hours ago

From an organizational change perspective, we are just

starting with online education & application of educational

technology in the mainstream

The Great Unbundlingvs.

The Great Resiliency

MOOCs!• “In 50 years, there will be

only 10 institutions in the world delivering education, and Udacity has a shot at being one of them.”- Sebastian Thrun

• “I can see a day soon where you’ll create your own college degree by taking the best online courses from the best professors from around the world.”- Thomas Friedman

"There's a tsunami coming. [But] I can't tell you exactly how it's going to break."

John Hennessy, Stanford

"We are at the beginning of a technology-led revolution in pedagogy: Our innovation is not the blackboard, but instead an evolving suite of tools that allows interactive learning online"

Drew Faust, HarvardL. Rafael Reif, MIT

“The Gutenberg revolution changed and destabilized so many dimensions of

society that some have wondered why it had, relatively speaking, less effect on the structure of the medieval university. … The answer is that the new technology

complemented the university’s established business model.”

Kevin Carey, The End of College

Good Lens

• Everett Rogers wrote the origin of much of technology adoption concepts

• S-curve, categories of adopters

While there will be (significant) unbundling

around the edges, the bigger potential impact is how

existing universities allow technology-enabled change to enter the mainstream of

the academic mission

Platforms Matter

“The LMS is a remarkable phenomenon in higher education. On the one hand, the LMS has seen unprecedented adoption rates. Estimates of institutions running an LMS are almost always near 99%.2 According to the first ECAR survey of faculty and IT, 85% of faculty use an LMS (with 56% using it on a daily basis), and 74% say it is a useful tool to enhance teaching. Among students, 83% use an LMS, and 56% say they use it in most or all courses.3 In an enterprise as highly individualistic as teaching and learning, these are remarkable numbers. No other academic application comes close to such adoption rates.”

New Opportunities

Mimic Factory ModelOne path, all studentstreated as identical

We are in the midst of an inflection point in higher

education driven by mainstream adoption,

different platform designs, and moving beyond the digitization of traditional

classroom
