On One Hand . . .
• Still a landscape of ~5 LMS solutions
• LMS Core Functions: Rosters, Grades, Assignments, Submissions, Class Messages / Discussions
• What’s the big deal?
"There's a tsunami coming. [But] I can't tell you exactly how it's going to break."
John Hennessy, Stanford
"We are at the beginning of a technology-led revolution in pedagogy: Our innovation is not the blackboard, but instead an evolving suite of tools that allows interactive learning online"
Drew Faust, HarvardL. Rafael Reif, MIT

On the Other Hand . . .
• Everything has changed
Good Lens
• Everett Rogers wrote the origin of much of technology adoption concepts
• S-curve, categories of adopters
Two Sides of the Chasm• Innovators & Early Adopters: Willing to take risks, influential
• Early Majority: Much slower adoption, need holistic solutions
• Late Majority: Approach an innovation with a high degree of skepticism and after the majority of society has adopted the innovation
From an organizational change perspective, we are just
starting with online education & application of educational
technology in the mainstream

Counter-example
• Walled gardens will still have a place, but no longer in broad sense (this is what we support for whole school) and instead for specific academic programs
This Won’t Be Easy

Bottom Line
• Apparent dilemma: Frustration, slow change vs. Everything is changing
• Best understood by Straddling the Chasm
• Move away from walled garden is biggest trend to allow service of both sides of Chasm
