A personal journey back to the private sector
• 14 years in energy, consulting & retail• 14 years as superintendent & grant maker• 2 years funding & advocating for edupreneurs
Conclusions: we need1. Private capital to spur/scale innovation2. Philanthropic capital to reduce risk, promote OER,
advance equity, 3. Public sector leadership to set goals, aggregate demand,
exercise accountability
learn capital

Open blends will change the world
OER & cheap tablets
…will change the world

Texts, Testing, Tutoring, Tech (U.S.)
• $25b segment will grow by >50% by 2020• Compression:
– OER+shift to digital will shrink $9b textbook segment – Cheap devices will compress Tech expenditures
• Growth:– Assessment– Tutoring, & specialty teaching services– Professional development– School services

Discussion
Can compelling content get kids to work twice as hard?
Can OER be compelling?
![Page 15: tom_vander_ark_nroc_2011_keynote](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55903bb21a28ab180d8b47e2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Equalization
• Affordable extended day/year• Access to all courses• Access to good teachers• Access to guidance & support

Case for the ‘Game-Frame’
5k 5th grade day• Adaptive reading quiz• Math game• Computer scored writing • Virtual history environment
10k 10th grade day• Physics simulation• 3 writing prompts • Language community • Math tutorial & exercises
The pivot to personal digital learning will cause a flood of keystroke data from a variety of learning applications
A ‘game-frame’ would translate scores from multiple learning apps into a standards-based gradebook

Discussion
Can new models narrow the preparation gap?
Will OER play a significant role?
