The Binarization of Higher Education: Im/proving the value of tech for ed Read the Briefing: https://wp.me/pfPUUQ-7r At first blush it feels crazy to question the value of expensive technology to higher education. Not so. If all university problems are forever being ‘solved,’ why then are further platforms necessary? Why, every other year, does an emergent, genuinely amazing and existentially threatening platform/solution get swallowed instead by universities?   The global tech business thinks it has the whole ‘value proposition’ wrapped up, solved. Many educators beg to differ. This matters enormously, as it is educators who define, do, and in important respects are the ‘value proposition.’   To yield education benefit, platforms must provide quality, efficiency, and difference. These parameters are relevant for executive leaders, education analysts, investors, and the public. The public should care as it is usually their money on the table, and they should be shaping future of education.   Clearly, no amount of analysis is going to halt technology creation, purchase, or use. Electrons and coding are out of the gates, and away. As platforms develop, so too should the sophistication and strength of education evaluation.
