But it also sounds like what I heard during the dot-com boom of the 1990s when a lot of companies\u2014including Blackboard\u2014began using technology to “disrupt” the education status quo. Since then we’ve made some important progress, but in many ways the classroom still looks the same as it did 100 years ago. So what’s different this time? Is all the talk just hype?

The comments about active learning are particularly on-target.\u00a0 Delivering a textbook electronically or a course on-line is hardly the point. For example, textbooks and courses that understand their subject matter well enough to ask appropriate questions and that can explain the answers, assess the learner’s comprehension, guide them through the subject matter and accommodate their learning style dynamically are where the action will be soon enough.\u00a0 This is not at all far-fetched or years off.\u00a0 Look at Watson and some of these links to see how imminent such educational technology could be!<\/p>\n
