Description

Justin Reich's Failure to Disrupt examines the impact of technology on education, challenging the notion that digital tools can radically transform learning and democratize access. A decade after the hype surrounding massive online learning, Reich delivers a sobering assessment of the current state of edtech.

The author takes a critical look at MOOCs, autograders, "intelligent tutors," and other learning technologies, highlighting how they often perpetuate existing inequalities in education rather than addressing them. Reich argues that true innovation requires institutional change, which technology alone cannot achieve.

With Failure to Disrupt, Reich provides a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the limitations of technology in education. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of educational policy and reform.
