This presentation is about the complex ecosystem that education has become. There are revolutionary changes happening in the system requiring professional managers to handle many issues.
2. Complexity of the Management
Problem
• WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CHANGING
AND FLUID SITUATION
• The ecosystem is very diverse & complex

4. Internet & Wi-Fi
• Internet and Wi-Fi has changed all that
• Knowledge can now be delivered anywhere
and any time!
• IITs are delivering Masters level engineering
courses through a mix of brick & mortar as
well as virtual class rooms

10. Lecture Capture
• Video record the classroom lecture
• Make it available on the institution site
• Students download at anytime, anywhere in
the campus
• Review it as many times as they need to
• Can be the basis of a flipped classroom

14. Flipped Classroom
• Do homework in class (flip)
• Let students review lectures at home
• Spend class time in solving problems
• Sorting out questions they have
• Teacher is an interactive problem solver.

15. MOOC
• Massive Open On-line Courses
– Stanford, MIT, Harvard, UC Berkeley
• Coursera, Udacity
• Learnable
• Khan Academy
Debasis Das www.exemplarconsulting.in 15
17. Blended Learning
• Mix traditional and on-line learning
• Traditional learning
– Bright students get bored
– Meant for the students around the mean
– Comparatively slow one get left out
• On-line courses lets students learn at their
own pace
• Can these two be blended optimally?

18. New Age Text Books
• Electronic format helps make text books easily
changeable
• Updated books can be delivered
immediately, anywhere
• Like set top boxes and other CE devices changes can be
delivered over the air
• Can be extremely customizable

19. Interesting Models
• Innosight institute has suggested some
interesting models for blended learning
• http://www.innosightinstitute.org/media-
room/publications/blended-learning/blended-
learning-model-definitions
• This could be the basis for arriving at a future
model that is effective

21. Rotation Model
• Rotation model
• Within a given course or subject students rotate on a
fixed schedule or at the teacher’s discretion between
learning modalities
• at least one of which is online learning
• Other modalities might include activities such as
– small-group or full-class instruction
– group projects
– individual tutoring
– pencil-and-paper assignments.
Debasis Das www.exemplarconsulting.in 21
22. Flex Model
• Flex model
• content and instruction are delivered primarily by
the Internet
• students move on an individually customized, fluid
schedule among learning modalities
• teacher-of-record is on-site. The teacher-of-record or
other Adults provide face-to-face support on a
flexible and adaptive as-needed basis
– small-group instruction, group projects, and
individual tutoring.
• Face-to-face support may vary
Debasis Das www.exemplarconsulting.in 22
23. Self-Blend Model
• Self-Blend model
• Students choose to take one or more courses entirely
online to supplement their traditional courses.
• Teacher-of-record is the online teacher. Students may
take the online courses either on the brick-and-
mortar campus or off-site.
• Differs from full-time online learning and the Enriched-
Virtual model. It is not a whole-school experience.
Students self-blend some individual online courses and
take other courses at a brick-and-mortar campus with
face-to-face teachers.
Debasis Das www.exemplarconsulting.in 23
24. Enriched Virtual Model
• Enriched-Virtual model
• A whole-school experience in which within each course
students divide their time between attending a brick-and-
mortar campus and learning remotely using online delivery
of content and instruction.
• Many Enriched-Virtual programs began as full-time online
schools and then developed blended programs to provide
students with brick-and-mortar school experiences.
• The Enriched-Virtual model differs from the Flipped
Classroom because in Enriched-Virtual programs, students
seldom attend the brick-and-mortar campus every
weekday. It differs from the Self-Blend model because it is a
full-school experience, not a course-by-course model.

• Following slide is a recent announcement of a
conference on Education
• What is interesting is the new kind of
designations you see that relate to the
complex management situation
