Online Learning: Disruptive Innovation in the Classroom - Bridget McCrea, THE Journal
One expert discusses how disruptive innovations like online learning will change the way students learn and progress. Disruption has several definitions in the English language, and not many of them positive in nature. A television commercial can disrupt a viewer; students can disrupt a class by talking out of turn; and the introduction of new technologies can disrupt traditional means of getting the job done. In each of these scenarios, the disruptive "factor" halts progress and creates complications that someone must deal with in order to get things moving in the right direction. In the book Disrupting Class, How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns (McGraw Hill, 2008), co-author Michael Horn puts a positive spin on disruption by examining how it will change the way students learn in the educational environment.
