Reich, Justin
Failure to disrupt : Why technology alone can't transform education By Justin Reich - 1st Ed. - Cambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2020 - i-xi+312p.
Introduction: A tinker's guide to learning at scale --
Part I. Three genres of learning at scale: MOOCs and instructor-guided learning --
Algorithm-guided learning: adaptive tutors and computer-assisted instruction --
Peer-guided learning: networked learning communities, aggregators, and syndication --
Testing the genres: learning games --
Part II. Dilemmas in learning at scale: The curse of the familiar --
The edtech Matthew effect --
The trap of routine assessment --
The toxic power of data --
Conclusion: The next robot tutor in the sky.
"From MOOCs to autograders to computerized tutors, technologies designed for large-scale learning have never lived up to the hype. Justin Reich once promoted these "transformative" novelties; now he reveals their failures. Successful education reform, he concludes, will focus on incremental institutional change, not the next killer app"--
