  • We want to stretch the triangle like this: more access, more quality, less cost. But with traditional teaching methods we can’t. It is an iron triangle.
  • unhealthy link between quality and exclusivity
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • that link is unnecessary and technology can break it
  • the revolution that breaks the iron triangle works with all technologies because it is rooted in the basic principles of technology
  • division of labour, specialisation, economies of scale, and the use of machines and communications media
  • the basis of the industrial revolution
  • the new technologies that let us share, study and socialise simultaneously
  • Our only requirement is to think of postsecondary education as a system and apply to it the principles of division of labour and specialisation in the service of the learner

    3 vectors of Access, Quality and Cost - and we want to stretch the triangle to have more access, more quality and less cost = "iron triangle" if using traditional teaching methods => unhealthy link between quality and exclusivity in the popular mindset about higher ed; iron triangle can be stretched if we think of higher ed as a system and apply principles of division of labor and specialization (i.e., "unbundle" the professor)

  • Higher education is now being disrupted; our MP3 is the massive open online course (or MOOC), and our Napster is Udacity, the education startup.

    Napster lost the battle but won the war - changing the story and disrupting the cost models; in higher ed our MP3 is the MOOC and our Napster is Udacity...

    Napster did lose. What won was DRM-laden iTunes, then Amazon. What lesson will higher education draw from that?

  • The irony of good public scholarship is that when it is done well it will inspire strong reactions. You’ve not lived until your first Internet hate message. That vitriol is one thing when it is confined to comments on a blog post but when it is coming from colleagues or senior members of your field engagement can have serious consequences. Making public scholarship less dangerous requires institutional commitment, allies, and advocates.
  • social media and online spaces provide a means for women and minority scholars to build networks as protective factors against institutional forces that marginalize them. But, I offer that argument with a caveat: doing so is not without risk.

    a wise and wonderful essay - especially important for those scholars who might buckle under the bullying and harassment so common in academia but more frightening when open and in the public domain. MOOCs should encourage public scholarship - and help to make it more valued... and of higher quality - but they will need to include in the design that the facilitators modeling advocacy and constructive kinds of alliances for the participants. That is, providing that "institutional commitment" for public scholarship that is thoughtful and intriguing (vs. public showboating).

    The _Liberal Education_ article is fascinating. Note that the baseline is somewhat contested. Vocational/professional learning is the big driver.
