A Science "Reading List for Uncertain Times" Selection "A must-read
for anyone with even a passing interest in the present and future
of higher education." -Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Lower Ed
"A must-read for the education-invested as well as the
education-interested." -Forbes Proponents of massive online
learning have promised that technology will radically accelerate
learning and democratize education. Much-publicized experiments,
often underwritten by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, have been
launched at elite universities and elementary schools in the
poorest neighborhoods. But a decade after the "year of the MOOC,"
the promise of disruption seems premature. In Failure to Disrupt,
Justin Reich takes us on a tour of MOOCs, autograders, "intelligent
tutors," and other edtech platforms and delivers a sobering report
card. Institutions and investors favor programs that scale up
quickly at the expense of true innovation. Learning
technologies-even those that are free-do little to combat the
growing inequality in education. Technology is a phenomenal tool in
the right hands, but no killer app will shortcut the hard road of
institutional change. "I'm not sure if Reich is as famous outside
of learning science and online education circles as he is inside.
He should be...Reading and talking about Failure to Disrupt should
be a prerequisite for any big institutional learning technology
initiatives coming out of COVID-19." -Inside Higher Ed "The desire
to educate students well using online tools and platforms is more
pressing than ever. But as Justin Reich illustrates...many recent
technologies that were expected to radically change schooling have
instead been used in ways that perpetuate existing systems and
their attendant inequalities." -Science
