by Clayton Christensen and Henry Eyring, The Hechinger Report
It’s not easy to find upbeat headlines about higher education these days, no matter what kind of institution you’re talking about. Christensen’s advice: Embrace online learning technology. The future of learning is a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. Education scholars may still be debating the evidence for this claim, but for today’s young digital natives it’s as obvious as a good balance between “hanging out” and Facebooking. Blending the two forms of instruction not only raises learning quality, it also holds the potential to decrease instructional delivery costs and increase student access (more on that next). Don’t wait for others to disprove your assumption that online learning is inferior to the traditional classroom experience.
