US Education – Media reportsThe WALL STREET JOURNAL – “One promising approach, many experts say, is hybrid schools, which blend online study with face-to-face interaction with teachers.” November 12, 2011

The New York Times – “The high costs of high-quality education put it off limits to large parts of the population, both in the United States and abroad, and threaten the school’s place in society as a whole. We need to significantly reduce those costs while at the same time improving quality”. December 5, 2011

The New York Times – “As part of a seismic shift in online learning that is reshaping higher education, Coursera, a year-old company founded by two Stanford University computer scientists, will announce on Tuesday that a dozen major research universities are joining the venture. In the fall, Coursera will offer 100 or more free massive open online courses, or MOOCs, that are expected to draw millions of students and adult learners globally.” July 17, 2012

The WALL STREET JOURNAL - America's higher education problem calls for both wiser choices by families and better value from schools. …. “New instructional methods can also contribute to cost savings. Online courses are already making inroads, and the model makes intuitive sense for many subjects: Take the top teachers in a field and give online access to their lectures to students at many different colleges.” January 15, 2014

Industry research by IBIS Capital and Edxus Group, revealed

enormous potential for e-learning market.While education as a whole is triple the size of the media and entertainment industry at $4.2 trillion, digital education is currently only 20% of the size of the digital media market.

Education is undergoing the same disruptive effects of digitalisation that the media industry has seen in recent years.

IBIS Capital and Edxus Group expect to see fifteen fold growth in the e-learning market in the next 10 years to represent 30% of the total education market.

The Research suggested under certain circumstances, the transition to digital education will be even quicker and more disruptive than that observed in the media industry over the past decade.

The Rise of Blended Learning

Online learning is sweeping across America. In the year 2000, roughly 45,000 K–12 students took an online course. In 2009, more than 3 million K–12 students did. What was originally a distance- learning phenomenon no longer is. Most

of the growth is occurring in blended-learning environments, in which students learn online in an adult-supervised environment at least part of the time.

As this happens, online learning has the potential to transform America’s education system by serving as the backbone of a system that offers more personalized learning approaches for all students.

In Disrupting Class,* the authors project that by 2019, 50 percent of all high school courses will be delivered online.
