The document discusses disruptive innovation in higher education and the potential rise of online learning. It notes that while 96% of US academic officers believe they are preparing students for employment, only 11% of business leaders agree that graduates have requisite job skills. The document then outlines different types of online learning and tools that could be used, including MOOCs, adaptive learning, and competency-based education. It envisions a future where learning materials are widely available online at low cost, institutions focus on assessment, credentials, advising and accreditation, and students can build flexible degrees from multiple sources.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Turn to your neighbour. 2 minutes Hands up who got the following? What have I missed.
- Please make suggestions - preferably trivial ones– I’ve got 3 here.
- So lots of people are learning online informally already – colleges have not caught up yet.
- So there’s lots of free education online – why can’t people just use that instead of going to college. 30 seconds to guess my 2 reasons – one is easier than the other. What do I need to know to become an engineer? How can I prove that I know all the stuff an engineer needs to know?
- Organise learning into larger structures.
- Organised course /programmes is being addressed quickly.
- But I want a degree! Notice that this is not free
- It can be cheaper.
- So what do we need to do to prove someone knows stuff – what do you think? It’s gonna cost!
- Problem – Accreditors insist on selling you teaching as well! What if we separated these?
- Do we really need universities to give accreditation. Why do people trust other organisations less? Can we do anything about that? Make it easy to check out a credential.
- So how can people afford to give away courses for free? Well the clue is in the word! But remember the reasons why Youtube became so popular. – It is not expensive to produce very acceptable content.
- So let’s review the state of free learning.
- So let’s review the factors that are in place drive and enable disruption.
- If you were building from scratch……
- Turn to your neighbour – what is stopping us getting from here to there! I’ll say what I think and you tell me what you think.
