- From the Amazon blurb:
The interdisciplinary field of the learning sciences encompasses educational psychology, cognitive science, computer science, and anthropology, among other disciplines.... Leading scholars incorporate the latest research to provide seminal overviews of the field. This research is essential in developing effective innovations that enhance student learning - including how to write textbooks, design educational software, prepare effective teachers, and organize classrooms.
Robbie: Of importance and influence, the learning sciences nevertheless have less relevance for understanding the digital campus than the historical perspectives from which I will explain what the digital campus is, what it does, how it works, who it serves, where it flourishes, and why it is important.
- The Innovative University: Changing the DNA of Higher Education from the Inside Out by Clayton M. Christensen and Henry J. Eyring. 978-1118063484, Jossey-Bass, 2011
- From the Amazon Q&A with the author: We wanted to show how new strategies, many of them driven by online technology, make it possible to serve more students at lower cost while also increasing quality and improving the learning experience--something we saw in practice within our own university homes.... Online learning, we believe, will either disrupt traditional universities and colleges or create opportunities for them to serve more students and lead the country to greater prosperity. It depends on whether they cling to a model that has changed little in the past 150 years or embrace learning innovations made possible by new technology.
Robbie: Yes, digital technologies may strengthen or disrupt the traditional campus as many studies, like this one, observe. The Digital Campus brings into view an alternative locus in which the colleges and universiteis are increasingly operating and it is important to understand the constraints and affordances of this emerging campus to appreciate the potentialities of higher education. - From the Amazon blurb: The Innovative University illustrates how higher education can respond to the forces of disruptive innovation , and offers a nuanced and hopeful analysis of where the traditional university and its traditions have come from and how it needs to change for the future. Through an examination of Harvard and BYU-Idaho as well as other stories of innovation in higher education, Clayton Christensen and Henry Eyring decipher how universities can find innovative, less costly ways of performing their uniquely valuable functions.

— Contains novel insights into the kind of change that is necessary to move institutions of higher education forward in innovative ways - This book uncovers how the traditional university survives by breaking with tradition, but thrives by building on what it's done best.
