Universities for years have been the bright spot in our educational
system. Today, these institutions are under siege from multiple
constituencies including students, parents, legislators, government
officials and their own faculties. Education has historically been
a way for students to improve their lives and fortunes. However,
the rising costs of college are a barrier to access for many
students, reducing their chances for upward mobility.Is technology
the solution, or is it just another costly problem for
universities? The purpose of this book is to explore how new
technology has the potential to transform higher education.
However, this same technology also has the potential to disrupt
universities. Much depends on how administrators, faculty and
students apply technologically enhanced learning.Technology and the
Disruption of Higher Education presents details on MOOCs, blended,
flipped and online classes and their role in transforming higher
education based on the author's experiences teaching all of these
types of courses. These technology-enabled approaches to teaching
and learning offer tremendous opportunities to schools, but they
also threaten the traditional university. The book identifies some
of these threats and opportunities and offers suggested strategies
to take advantage of the technology.Is this technology enough to
save the university system? While new ways of teaching and learning
are exciting, they are only part of the puzzle. Radical change
beyond what happens in the classroom is needed if our higher
education system is to continue to flourish and some of these ideas
are discussed in the last chapter of the book. The book is a call
to action for educators to realize that the technology is both
transformational and disruptive, and that some universities are
going to fail in the next 15 years.
