A Science "Reading List for Uncertain Times" Selection "A must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in the present and future of higher education." -Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Lower Ed "A must-read for the education-invested as well as the education-interested." -Forbes Proponents of massive online learning have promised that technology will radically accelerate learning and democratize education. Much-publicized experiments, often underwritten by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, have been launched at elite universities and elementary schools in the poorest neighborhoods. But a decade after the "year of the MOOC," the promise of disruption seems premature. In Failure to Disrupt, Justin Reich takes us on a tour of MOOCs, autograders, "intelligent tutors," and other edtech platforms and delivers a sobering report card. Institutions and investors favor programs that scale up quickly at the expense of true innovation. Learning technologies-even those that are free-do little to combat the growing inequality in education. Technology is a phenomenal tool in the right hands, but no killer app will shortcut the hard road of institutional change.

He should be...Reading and talking about Failure to Disrupt should be a prerequisite for any big institutional learning technology initiatives coming out of COVID-19." -Inside Higher Ed "The desire to educate students well using online tools and platforms is more pressing than ever.
