The theory of disruptive innovation has significant explanatory power when it comes to understanding the future of higher education. The first key to this innovation is technology, or more specifically, all those companies whose products and services will improve the on-line educational experience.
The second key is business model innovation which will allow colleges to deliver product and services at a new lower price point or in a new, far more convenient fashion without extra cost.
Interest in educational disruption, as highlighted by start-ups and venture capital flows, continues to accelerate.
The discussion will focus on:
* The new participative technologies that have the ability to significantly enhance the production and delivery of knowledge.
* What are the most innovative and successful startups engaged in the education sector?
* What is social learning? How can social media, technology and innovation make the greatest positive impact on higher education?
* Which colleges and universities are pursuing the most innovative and interesting curriculum changes and teaching strategies?
* What are the most interesting peer learning initiatives currently out there?
