  1. Disrupting Class and the Future of Learning Michael B. Horn mhorn@innosightinstitute.org Twitter: @innosightinstit

  2. Performance that customers can utilize or absorb Pace of Technological Progress Sustaining innovations Incumbents nearly always win Performance Sustaining innovations Time

  3. 40% on $2,000 20% Performance that customers can utilize or absorb Pace of performance improvement Different measure Of Performance Disruptive Innovations: Competing against non-consumption Non-consumers or Non-consuming occasions Time Disruptive innovations Incumbents nearly always win 60% on $500,000 Sustaining innovations Performance 45% on $250,000 Time Entrants nearly always win

  4. Disruption = affordability, accessibility • Yesterday • GM • Dept. Stores • State universities • Digital Eqpt. • Delta • JP Morgan • Xerox • IBM • Cullinet • AT&T • Sony DiskMan Today • Toyota • Wal-Mart • Community colleges • Dell • Southwest Airlines • Fidelity • Canon • Microsoft • Oracle • Cingular • Apple iPod

  5. Disruption of Toyota

  6. Disruption = affordability, accessibility • Yesterday • GM • Dept. Stores • State universities • Digital Eqpt. • Delta • JP Morgan • Xerox • IBM • Cullinet • AT&T • Sony DiskMan • Tomorrow • Chery • Internet retail • Online universities • Smart phones • Air taxis • ETFs • Zink • Linux • Salesforce.com • Skype • Smart phones Today • Toyota • Wal-Mart • Community colleges • Dell • Southwest Airlines • Fidelity • Canon • Microsoft • Oracle • Cingular • Apple iPod

  7. Hearing aids Pocket radios Portable TVs Tabletop Radios, Floor-standing TVs Performance Different measure Of Performance Path taken by vacuum tube manufacturers Non-consumers or Non-consuming occasions Time Time It’s not a technology problem

  8. Modular, open architectures Linux; Dell PCs Different system architectures Proprietary, interdependent architectures: Microsoft Windows; Apple products Customization is straightforward Customization is very expensive

  9. Different learning needs @ different times Multiple intelligences Learning Styles Talents Motivations/interests Aptitude Depends on subject/domain Different paces Ongoing neuroscience research

  10. Built to standardize

  11. Core curriculum Performance Different measure Of Performance Path taken by most schools, foundations and education software companies Non-consumers or Non-consuming occasions Time Time Crammed computers historically

  12. Performance that customers can utilize or absorb Sustaining the chalkboard Performance Time

  13. Looming budget cuts and teacher shortages are an opportunity, not a threat Prime examples of nonconsumption • Credit recovery • Drop outs • AP/advanced courses • Scheduling conflicts • Home-schooled and homebound students • Small, rural, urban schools • Unit recovery • Disaster preparedness • Tutoring • Professional development • Pre-K • After school • In the home • Incarcerated youth • In-school suspension • School bus commute • Summer school • Teacher absenteeism • Migrant worker families

  14. % new % old 10.0 1.0 0.1 .01 .001 .0001 03 05 07 09 11 13 15 Substitution follows S-curve pattern % new

  15. Online learning gaining adoption • Over 4M K-12 students doing online learning, says Ambient Insight • 30% of high school students & 19% middle school students, says Project Tomorrow

  17. Technology predictably improves

  18. Definition of blended learning Any time a student learns in part through online delivery, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace and At least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar place away from home

  19. Blended learning is not…

  20. Emerging blended-learning models Rotation Flex Self-Blend Enhanced Virtual Students learn sometimes at a physical school, other times remotely Students attend physical school & take 1 or more courses online • Station rotation • Lab rotation • Individual rotation • Flipped classroom Online platform with F2F support and fluid schedules

  21. Technology predictably improves

  22. Proliferation of content options

  23. Education technology categories

  24. Test Prep Specialized Online Instruction Tutoring Curricula Intervention/ Core Digital Texts Games Courses

  25. Communication Assessment Systems Collaboration Instructional Systems LMS Teacher Tools Social Learning

  26. Data Systems Data Warehouse Reporting SIS

  27. Talent Management PD Systems Observation HR Systems

  28. Practical implications • Begin at the end. Define outcomes. • Make technology the slave to your strategy, not the other way around. • Harness the power of time, place, path, and pace for student personalization. • Personalize for your circumstances too. Think in terms of “SWOT.” • Take advantage of rapidly improving content and communication tools. • Shift to outcome accountability, not input-based rules.

  29. Practical implications • Not beholden by the old metrics • Seat time Competency-based • Geographic boundaries • Teacher certifications • In general, move beyond focus on inputs/processes • Self-sustaining funding • Autonomous • Human resources pipeline & PD • Broadband/wireless infrastructure • Portal/Based on usage and what works • Treatment and use of data

  30. Fixed time, variable learning Progress to next grade, subject, or body of material Deliver content to students Testing & assessment Receive results

  31. Competency-based learning Deliver content to students Testing & assessment Receive real-time interactive feedback Progress to next grade, subject, or body of material
