University as a bundle
Are we in for a radical unbundling?
We should be able to distinguish the future of educational institutions from the future of the social good(s) to which ‘education’ refers…

Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Curve& Moore’s ‘Crossing the Chasm’

“My DIY Masters is focused on representations of friendship, the German language, media art techniques and increasingly upon the topic of self-organised education.
“I’ve had to think about how to access teachers, mentors and fellow students, where to get funding and accreditation from.” www.battlecat.net
“After some private maths lessons which I found via School of Everything, I'm signing up for an eight month course costing me £630. This is after a great deal of energy spent trying to work out a path forward for my PhD: talking to supervisors, going on university-provided courses, sending emails to two economics departments' PhD students, offering money for help!”

Facilities & Equipment

• Workplaces used at only 10% of their capacity (over 24hrs)
• “Progressive austerity” (David Jennings,

What might unbundled universities look like?
“Technology undermined certain business models that sustained the music industry, but the threat was not to music itself, only to the way that current business models worked. New ways of creating and finding music had been made possible.”
