5. Disruption = affordability, accessibility • Yesterday • GM • Dept. Stores • State universities • Digital Eqpt. • Delta • JP Morgan • Xerox • IBM • Cullinet • AT&T • Sony DiskMan • Tomorrow • Chery • Internet retail • Online universities • Smart phones • Air taxis • ETFs • Zink • Linux • Salesforce.com • Skype • Smart phones Today • Toyota • Wal-Mart • Community colleges • Dell • Southwest Airlines • Fidelity • Canon • Microsoft • Oracle • Cingular • Apple iPod

6. Budget crises and teacher shortages are an opportunity, not a threat Prime examples of nonconsumption • Credit recovery • Drop outs • AP/advanced courses • Scheduling conflicts • Home-schooled and homebound students • Small, rural, urban schools • Unit recovery • Disaster preparedness • Tutoring • Professional development • Pre-K • After school • In the home • Incarcerated youth • In-school suspension • School bus commute • Summer school • Teacher absenteeism • Migrant worker families

8. Online learning gaining adoption

9. Different learning needs @ different times Multiple intelligences Learning Styles Talents Motivations/interests Aptitude Depends on subject/domain Different paces Ongoing neuroscience research

10. Built to standardize

12. Technology predictably improves

13. Definition of blended learning A formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of instruction and content with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace and At least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar place away from home

14. Blended learning is not…

15. Technology predictably improves

16. Practical implications • Not beholden by the old metrics • Seat time Competency-based • Geographic boundaries • Teacher certifications • In general, move beyond focus on inputs/processes • Self-sustaining funding • Human resources pipeline & PD • Broadband/wireless infrastructure • Portal/Based on usage and what works • Treatment and use of data

17. Fixed time, variable learning Progress to next grade, subject, or body of material Deliver content to students Testing & assessment Receive results

18. Competency-based learning Offer learning experiences for students Testing & assessment Receive real-time interactive feedback Progress to next body of material

20. Emerging blended-learning models Rotation Flex Self-Blend Enriched Virtual • Station rotation • Lab rotation • Individual rotation • Flipped classroom Online platform with F2F support & fluid schedules, teacher on site Students attend physical school & take 1 or more courses online Students learn sometimes at a physical school, other times remotely

25. “The customer rarely buys what the company thinks it is selling him” - Peter Drucker Understanding how users experience life

26. Three levels in the architecture of a job What and how to integrate? What experiences in purchase & use must we provide to do the job perfectly? What’s the job-to-be-done? (Each job has functional, emotional & social dimensions)

27. Proprietary, interdependent architectures Modular open architectures Compete by improving speed, responsiveness and customization The right product architecture? It depends… IBM Mainframes, Microsoft Windows Compete by improving functionality & reliability Performance Dell PCs, Linux Time
