Classic Disintermediation

Originally the professor was transferring information to thestudents through the institutes. Now the information can bedirectly transferred to the students with the help of onlineplatforms.

Eg: Online courses and classes like MIT open courseware

Drivers and mediation strategies:

Information intensity is high

Highly customized information

Information can be electronically delivered

Low search cost

Low risk

Remediation

Huges.net use technology not to cut down middleman but to work closely with many value

chain partners like IIMs


Aggregation effect: products and services can differ in the way they are combined for specific

needs like bachelors and masters course


3/28

Network based mediation

Students can also learn from each other and the experts through the network.

Wikiversity: In this teachers, students, and researchers join to create openeducational resources and collaborative learning communities.


Network effect: The utility of goods increases when the number of people using itincreases.

Standardization benefits to improve process for educating

Search cost is low

Missing competencies

The revenue system changed by introducing e-learning. Students might be charged per onlinemock exam taken etc

Selling online products or solutions instead ofbooks.

Infrastructure based transformation: Online

schoolOperating based changes: Simulation

based learning.

Cisco WebEx - Virtual class interaction andapplication sharing tool.

Business Model Transformation


7/28


1) For-Profit Subsidiary Model: The creation of afor-profit subsidiary within a non profit institution(public or private university)

For instance, if a faculty member wants to useintellectual property that he/she created in thefor-profit unit with the faculty membersmainstream courseor if the institution wants tomingle external and internal students in a single

course, it would need to develop new businessprocesses to bridge the for-profit and non profitsides of the institution.

2) Cost-Recovery Model: In this model, the onlinelearning unit operates within the administrativestructure of the larger institution,but functions as

a separate budget center, with the goal ofrecovering its costs through new tuition revenuegenerated by new students.

The challenge in this environment is to build new

budget and administrative processes that allowmainstream students to participate in thecontinuing/distance education program.

Unification model: Coaching institutes in India:

Time IMT etc

Coordinated model: SP Jain, Mumbai and SP Jain

Singapore-Dubai work on coordinated modelsince there is cross selling of information and

process integration.

Replication: NIIT Its based on franchise model. Diversification: Manipal University offering

different courses. Tata group

Business Process Transformation

investing into IT streamlining all activities

e-learning educational institutes have started onlinecourses. The information and communication systems,whether networked learning or not, serve as specific mediato implement the learning process.

new tools to streamline back office functions, improveresearch collaboration, and help teachers manage theirclassrooms

correspondence courses

Paper pencil to online exams Lectures through video conferences

knowledge going open source


12/28

Cloud for education industry

Cloud can be described as on-demand computing.Access to applications and data anywhere, any time,from any device is the potential outcome.

Features: rapid elasticity and pay per use

Examples:

consumer-level cloud: Flickr and Facebook

Outlook Live: They provide email solutions for

education institutions. Institutional Learning management systems(LMSs):

Blackboard, Moodle


13/28

Types of cloud computing with examples:

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS): rent basic

computing resources such as processors and

storage, and use them to run their own

operating systems and applications.

Eg: Amazons Elastic Compute organisations can

use this infrastructure to run Linux servers on

virtual machines and scale up usage as required


14/28

Platform as a service (PaaS): This enables

customers to install their own applications

using a platform specified by the service

provider.

Example: Google Apps Engine where

developers can write and install applications

using the Python language.


15/28

software as a service (SaaS): Both data andapplication is on the cloud. The user requiresonly web browser.

Examples:Google Apps for Education andMicrosoft Live@edu which provide

Communication and office applications such

as email, spread sheets, instant messagingalong with contact management and calendarsoftware.


16/28

Open Source for Education

Open Source and Open Standards are the

next wave of technologies in Education Open Source

Fostering Community base Modular and Component driven

Enabling Consortia and Partners

Open Source for Education

1) Concord consortium

2) Connexions: It is a place to view and shareeducational material of small knowledge chunks calledmodules that can be organized as courses, books,

reports etc. Anyone may view and contirbute. 2) MIT OCW: MIT Open Courseware is a free

publication of MIT course materials that reflects almostall the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught atMIT.

3) Khan academy

4) Moodle: It is an open source course managementsystem to support content and student collaboration.
