Will there be an equivalent of https://t.co/pMsaMLLvfU for education? What would that mean for traditional institutions? What should institution leaders be doing today to prepare? Please vote for my talk proposal at #SXSWEDU 2024 https://t.co/7yEDVZJe4z

Learning platforms are about to become an important broker of supply and demand in #highereducation and #highereducationleadership needs guidance to "play the game" right. We look forward to your feedback on our latest @HarvardBiz piece! #platformstrategy @theplatformguy

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

The exciting story of @BU_Digital's 8-year journey from MOOCs to BU's Online-at-Scale degree unit. Good lessons on how facilitating bottom-up innovation can bring about top-down institutional change.

Go @BUQuestrom #questrommeansbusiness !

[Susan Fournier @QuestromDean]

Out of 7+ million researchers across all sciences, 11 Questrom faculty are in the top 2% of researchers with the greatest impact in their respective fields. What a remarkable group to be a part of. Congratulations! #questrommeansbusiness @BU_Tweets

We are very excited to have received a $8M gift to build a new Center that will pursue digital innovation in residential education at @BU_Tweets . Thank you Mr. Shipley!

@Prof_Yildirim Ha! How do you say "sarcasm" in German??

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

@cblatts @Prof_Yildirim Oh, what sublime irony. The nations of the world that have been lectured and meddled in by the United States of America are feeling a sense of collective gloat today.

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

As usual, a provocative manifesto from @profgalloway. Some ideas right on, others not so much. Most disruptive to the "cartel that is university accreditation" are his thoughts about tuition-free education by industry leaders Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.

Couldn't be prouder of what @BU_Digital has accomplished in 2020!

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

Honored and humbled to have received one of my academic community's highest distinctions. Grateful to the many teachers, mentors, co-authors, colleagues and students who inspired and supported me to become who I am today (follow the link to watch my award speech).

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

Very interesting working paper: student learning suffered during the switch to remote instruction last spring, but small group activities helped reduce this loss. We need more papers like this. #highered #COVID #activelearning https://t.co/oYujZZ3Xad

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

Noteworthy. And a #highered project to keep tabs on. https://t.co/f7KKfIv7Dr

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

Wow! There’s a lot of truth in this... https://t.co/AJjxFpHJ8Y

[Chris Dellarocas @cdellarocas]

How much are the non-course-related elements of a residential #highereducation worth? The courts may attempt to assign a dollar amount. Interesting times ahead... https://t.co/Wfg31YTOXW
