Napster, Udacity, and the Academy - Clay Shirky - 1 views

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

    Mr Shirky lets it all hang out. Good read.

    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?

  • We want to stretch the triangle like this: more access, more quality, less cost. But with traditional teaching methods we canโ€™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)
