Disruptive Trends in  The Education Industry

Overview by Jon Cropper, Futurlogic.

I reviewed this rich source and I found it worthy. I liked the titles they gave to each category and I found it creative. They called MOOC’s teachers “Rock star teachers.

They covered in the review eight topics:

  1. The rise of Rockstar teachers: MOOCs are disruptive trends in the eduction industry markets. It’s about how people all around the world can get an access to the high quality education, and learn from Harvard and other high institutions’ professors. Such trend is developing new industry not only an educational tool. Several educators, developers, managers are working in MOOCs, but the question is: Is it really going to raise up the educational level in whole world? From a personal experience, I registered in two courses in different fields but I didn’t make the same effort I do in my MET class, because they didn’t have deadlines, penalties, also they are for free. So if students didn’t have a big desire in learning, they won’t get the proposed benefits.
  2. 10 Week Software Developer Bootcamps are Launching at a Furious Pace. This trend is really valuable. It connects students from different ages with the real society needs. Also it provides them with a respectable income and this point is very important these days. I watched the App Academy and I liked the idea of intensive learning and training because we are living in a changeable world. So mastering the market required skills in a short time is very valuable and beneficial for young youth (around 80 thousand $ in a year!).
  3. Online Education is Rapidly Gaining Credibility: I didn’t find this point disruptive like its previous points. Credible Online learning is not new, and its high spreading speed, in different majors, is the remarkable.
  4. Explosive Growth in Documentary Film Production is Fueling the Educational Content Ecosystem: This point is new and unique in this study and it’s very valuable in many subjects, like history, physics, science,etc.
  5. Branded schools: I feel that it is like “upgrading” to the institutional certificates, but it brings professional in specific areas that are maybe not covered in the high education systems. Like the Creative Academy and

    Fabrica: Benetton’s Communication Research Center. Our society needs applicable creative ideas than ever before.

  6. Education Entrepreneurs are Rapidly Disrupting the Industry Globally
  7.  Subscription Boxes Represent the Return of Correspondence Education
  8. Virtual Internships are Gaining Credibility
  9. The Future is Present: AI Tutors:  it’s really an awesome idea to use AI in tutoring youth students. I watched a sample video they provided in the site: https://youtu.be/vqdgJ88wOws . It is really a very futuristic idea and it will have a great future. It vary from simple avatars to a very futuristic avatar (living avatar!)

I think this is a very valuable resource, as it’s relevant to the emerging education system that we are all apart of. The word ‘disruptive’, has reminded me that not everyone has the same perspective as me, in regards to the future of the education system. I have emerged from the education system at a time where change is expected and embraced, but perhaps others still cling to the traditional sense of the classroom. I see potential, where others may see disruption. The future is unclear for what the world may value as ‘education’ and ‘educated individuals’. Will we still need to go to school? Will we need a piece of paper that shows we know the equivalent of schooling? For technologies specialists and venturers, I can also see the value of this article, as they could be apart of the technologies that are causing the ‘disruption’. They could also take these disruptions and build on them further to create educational systems that recognize the value in these disruptions to ensure that students get credit and merit for endeavouring in these emerging ways of educating themselves. While reading this article, I was thinking of ways that I could take advantage of these disruptions in my own classroom and bring them to the attention of my fellow teachers. I would like to see a version of this report in the future, as the disruptions will change as technology and education exponentially evolves. It would also be interesting to see if these ‘disruptions’ become the norm.
