I find it telling that “EdTech” is naturally assumed to be “classroom tools”. Talk about a lack of vision. The fine people at OMSCS are pioneering a fantastic new future for higher education, and it goes way beyond flash card systems and pop quiz tools.
Education is in trouble in America, but that doesn’t mean a) the concept of technology has failed, or b) it’s in trouble everywhere. The edtech revolution can’t fail, it already happened for many hundreds of millions worldwide with the advent of Wikipedia, YouTube, and Kahn Academy.
