[Okgrantsmanship] SREB WEBINAR: This February College will be Disrupted!

[Mason, Linda]

Good Morning,

 

The Educational Technology Cooperative is proud to announce a
leading-edge opportunity.  America's colleges and universities are
strapped for resources, students and families are faced with eye-popping
tuition increases and we are falling behind other developed nations in
postsecondary attainment.

 

In early February a new look at disruptive innovation in higher
education will be released from The Center for American Progress, in
collaboration with Clayton Christensen of the Harvard Business School
and the Innosight Institute has published a new paper, Disrupting
College: How Disruptive Innovation Can Deliver Quality and Affordability
in Postsecondary Education.  The paper analyzes higher education through
the lens of disruptive technologies and business model transformation to
provide a new way to think about ensuring that colleges and universities
are fulfilling their public role of knowledge creation and education
while not breaking the bank of neither the taxpayer nor students and
families.

 

SREB will follow that release with a live webinar with one of the
authors, Michael B. Horn on Tuesday, February 15 at 2:00pm (ET).

 

This webinar is provided at no-cost as a service of the Educational
Technology Cooperative and the generous participation of Michael B.
Horn.  

 

Registration for this webinar is available at:

[COOP Representatives: Please distribute this announcement to interested
individuals in your state]
