Dr. Clayton Christensen discusses disruption in higher education

[@julesgitu8287]

Dr. Clayton Christensen, I am so saddened that I never got to know of you until this morning. I am more saddened that you have departed this earth and I never got a chance to meet you or be taught by you. I am however very grateful that the legacy you left behind, your work, your courses are still on for people such as myself to benefit from your wealthy mind of knowledge. I am so glad that you lived long enough to touch lives and one of those lives is going to be mine. I am so intrigued by your knowledge. May you Rest In Peace.

What a fantastic speaker. My take always and time spent listening the Dr.Christensen was well spent! I really enjoyed the video!

[@maximahoro8970]

Absolutely BRILLIANT !!

[@CyrusPieris]

This makes sense. Thanks for opening my eyes Dr Christensen.

[@MicrobiolgyEALtd]

Good teachings. Prof

[@hessamadeencharles5101]

I'm an a level chemistry teacher and I find his ideas fascinating & will put them to use.. I now look at my potential market in totally different way. Thank you Sir!

[@VahidMasrour]

Oustanding talk on business, strategy, disruption, and educational models. Thanks for having available publicly.

[@virtua8378]

Fantastic. Clear. Explains a lot of changes in our world.

[@yarrabing]

I am surprised there are only about 51k watches. This chaps know stuff and it relevant to all our lives.

[@AzizJDachi]

This is great!!

Exceptional business advise from Mr. Clayton. RIP! Tesla, despite being vertically integrated, has innovated rapidly in automotive industry and scaled to a $1 trillion business in 20 years. It truly is an exception.

[@bellinghama]

Outstanding lecture

[@FFM115]

He is definitely on a higher level of thinking.

I totally agree with Henry J. Eyring: Online Learning is a "Disruptive Technology".

[@joaquing3263]

Great Video. Very impressed with the content and your ability to make connections. Just like the University of Phoenix is working on making their teaching better, we need to unite our state governments with the tech industry to develop open/crowd sourcing technology. We need to give our best teachers the ability to develop great teaching content for our students. (all type of students with all types of ways of learning with all types of learning disabilities with all types of goals with all types of interests with.... you get the idea). Let us cater our children's education to maximize their learning capabilities! There is a lot of power in numbers.

[@MichaelWilliamsWMA]

Joaquin the open/crowd community has. World Mentoring Academy is supported by that community ie Linux & Open source community for over 5 years.

[@jazmindieg000]

On a national, on a state, on a city, on a local basic. Yes.

Dr. Christensen is excellent and thought-provoking as always, however, I believe there might be one development that Dr. Christensen simply do not see: The strength of AI, is to solve complicated matching problems at almost zero overhead cost. If we take that with us, it may have tremendous implications for the models that Dr. Christensen outlines at the end of the lecture: 1. "We will do anything for anyone" 2. "We will not do anything for anyone - unless you can make fit into our pre-defined process" Dr. Christensen points to how model #1 have so high overhead, that it will loose to model #2. But if AI can bring overhead to around zero, that will no longer be the case. Then it is model #1 that will disrupt model #2, because model #2 is so standardised it leave much room for non-consumption of things you could do, just not within the pre-defined process. So also for education. In fact, dr Christensen does indeed mention som fo this earlier in the lecture, and I certainly believe this is also where education will be going: Towards a much more tailer-made - "doing anything for anybody" - mode of operation. Why would anyone choose to follow a suboptimal, standardised, path to the BAR-exam, of one could instead follow a tailor-made path to the same knowledge? Why would anyone care to take a BAR-exam, if the data from your studies are readily and cost-lessly saved to your digital twin, and any AI that can read your digital twin, will verify that you, indeed, have the knolwedge and skill necessary for a BAR? The BAR would have outplayed its purpose. Just like formal grade transcripts, and even formal titles, like the MBA itself. They are all indicators meant to measure something important, and demonstrate the result, at minimum transaction- and information costs. And AI can do all this both cheaper and more precise, hence, this manual ways of collecting and disseminating this information will be, or, are already, obsolete, expensive, and imprecise.

[@mikebremner8356]

in my view the students will seek out the best, if it is available. The challenge will be world wide accreditation strategies

[@patrickmccormack4318]

"metric of performance changing...changed the metric...performances we get accredited...good schools...vertical axis is teaching...making our teaching better...that metric...run for our money..." "It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem." - Douglas Adams Can we have something for nothing?

[@qumarthapa]

wow fantastic! at the age of wisdom we must forgo some of our thoughts only suitable for industrial age.

[@usd2868]

Respect

[@kylecmurphy]

Great speech and I agree with pretty much everything except he makes the assumption that classroom instruction is pretty much lecturing, which means content can be made a commodity. For instructors that have advanced learning beyond lecturing to interactive and experiential exercises in the classroom, online learning does not offer as rich of a learning experience.

[@patrickbutler87]

I think your point is good but it could be equated to what his parents might have said about that crappy portable radio. The technology is not good enough yet, but when it is I'll be happy to pay $1,000 for it instead of $200,000.

[@TheGbelcher]

Patrick Butler The point is that most students don’t hire a university to teach them, they hire universities to get a better job when they graduate. Until online schools can get ppl consulting and banking jobs, HBS has nothing to worry about.

[@borisjoffe]

@@TheGbelcher Online schools already get people jobs. Going to a "prestigious" school is becoming less and less relevant. Employers want people who know what they're doing and can contribute value to their business. They don't care about name dropping. I learned most of what I know and use on the job from the Internet, not in a classroom.

[@KingoftheSquash]

awesome!

[@stefanutoluiz]

48:15 so should I sell my TSLA stock?

[@olfssen]

the question should be ' When should sell your Tesla stock'

Innovation University is a great book to read!

[@johntobey1558]

This is not new. It has already been written on. And it is not true.

[@magneticG2]

hope he is sipping water and taking breaks

[@chuckrice8496]

Disruption of the Harvard Business School.......and Harvard University. Remember - Harvard started as a Christian School. Sad where "some" of the school has gone to. Just say'in.
