2MP camera for $1KIt’s non-traditional customers who are attracted to disruptive innovations because the product meets their needs.
iPhoto Version 1 is introduced.
With Disruptive Innovations, non-consumers are the sole customers in the beginning because the innovation meets their needs. Traditional customers are repulsed by the expense and primitive nature of the product. However, over time, quality increases while price decreases causing a tipping point. Eventually, the innovation replaces the original product. The same is true with digital textbooks. Change is a process.

What’s missing is that
If the current crop of online courses are also like Kodak's 1991 digital camera, who would subscribe to these resources? Online courses meet the needs of a variety of non-consumers. If you’re a student at a small high school who would like to take Mandarin as your world language requirement, it’s likely you wouldn’t find 30 similar students or a part-time, credentialed Mandarin teacher at your site. Perhaps you’re a student who needs an extra class or two to graduate, but your class schedule doesn’t match the times local classes are offered. You’d like to take AP Calculus, but your school doesn’t offer it. Or, maybe you’re home-schooled and your parents want to ensure you have access to challenging courses and opportunities to collaborate with other students. All of these options are cited by both Clayton Christensen in his book, Disrupting Class, and within The Sloan Consortium's report, K-12 Online Learning: A Survey of U.S. School Administrators, as current consumers of online learning courses.
Just as your district keeps tabs on content and instruction for each course, the same expectations should exist for online courses. How can you know that a course addresses all the content standards for a subject so that your students are prepared for state-mandated testing? Do you and your staff pilot each course and participate in all the activities so that you can verify the content standards and guarantee that a course meets California's social content review?

Unlike digital photography, which destroyed or dismembered companies like Fuji, Polaroid, and Kodak, online courses won't put public education out of business. Instead, brick-and-mortar schools will focus not on the courses they'd rather not teach, but on courses they need to offer to their customers. Online courses and digital textbooks may be still developing, but their promise to provide customized learning opportunities that address each students needs and up-to-date content can not be ignored or denied. They are disruptive innovations that are revolutionizing learning.
