Christensen Scorecard: Data visualization of US postsecondary institution closures and mergers

Posted on April 2, 2019

There has been a lot of talk about Christensen’s prediction on half of schools closing in a decade without much real data . . . until now.

Cracks In The Foundation Of Disruptive Innovation

Posted on October 6, 2015

The overuse of Clayton Christensen’s disruptive innovation theory has rightly been criticized in education circles for years. I say rightly in that judging a non-commodity public good with the same theory as disk drives is a silly notion without some extensive analysis to back up that extrapolation. As Audrey Watters wrote in 2013: Rather, my assigning […]

No Discernible Growth in US Higher Ed Online Learning

Posted on January 6, 2015

By 2015, 25 million post-secondary students in the United States will be taking classes online. And as that happens, the number of students who take classes exclusively on physical campuses will plummet, from 14.4 million in 2010 to just 4.1 million five years later, according to a new forecast released by market research firm Ambient […]

Why Pearson’s OpenClass Is a Big Deal

Posted on October 23, 2011

The big buzz at EDUCAUSE last week was around OpenClass, Pearson’s new LMS entrant. Much hyped but only rarely glimpsed, speculation has been rampant about whether it is a big deal or just a gimmick. Because most people (including me) don’t have access to the product yet, the best source of information on it at […]

Xplana.com: Is This a PLE?

Posted on August 13, 2010

The title of this post is slightly tongue-in-cheek because I have my doubts about whether there is such a thing as PLEs that are distinct from existing software product categories. If there were, then after years of people talking about them, one would think there would have been an example by now that everybody could […]
