Tim OReillly on Education as an open system / platform

From DSC:
This idea of creating platforms is key. Apple let people develop their own apps for the iPhone, and look what happened. Innovation skyrockets when people can contribute.

Where is innovation happening within your organization? In your face-to-face learning environment? In your online learning environment? In your hybrid/blended spaces? How can we open things up more to allow for:

  • More creativity
  • The pursuit of students’ passions
  • Increased flexibility in our offerings
  • More innovation
  • A greater reach/impact?
