The End in Mind » Blackboard & the Innovator’s Dilemma
Jon's blog gives voice to the concepts and thoughts that a lot of us have, but aren't smart enough to organize it well like he does! For example, this nugget stood out for me
"...the real disruption in educational technology will come (and is already coming) via learner-centered technologies and networking tools. A rapidly growing number of people are creating their own personal learning environments with tools freely available to them, without the benefit of a CMS. As Christensen would say, they have hired different technologies to do the job of a CMS for them. But the technologies they’re hiring are more flexible, accessible and learner-centered than today’s CMSs. This is not to say that CMSs are about to disappear. Students enrolled in institutions of higher learning will certainly continue to participate in CMS-delivered course sites, but since these do not generally persist over time, the really valuable learning technologies will increasily be in the cloud."
I encourage you to check out the full post and the other things on Jon's End in Mind blog. (Thanks to colleague Jean Mankoff for pointing out this article)
