On-Line Learning and the Implications for School Design
Stack, Greg
Educational Facility Planner, v45 n1-2 p21-23 2011
"Disrupting Class," published in 2008, is the story of how disruptive innovation, innovation that changes the business model organizations, will fundamentally change the American school system. The book's most startling prediction is that half of all high school classes will be on-line by 2019. In considering these predictions, the author began to wonder what this might mean for the future of school planning and design. To begin answering these questions, the author decided to investigate the online learning taking place, to see if this is transpiring as the authors predict. This article is a progress report on that effort. The author will more fully explain the predictions of "Disrupting Class", describe what on-line users seem to be doing today, and discuss where this might be going relative to designing and building schools.
