Clayton Christensen, a professor at Harvard University and the author of The Innovator’s Dilemma and The Innovator’s Solution, has a new book out focused on education. It’s called Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns [amazon].

The book predicts that by 2019, half of all high school classes will be taught online. This change will occur because new public and private organizations that start by adopting new technologies and methods to serve “nonconsumers” - people that the current system does not serve well - will eventually gain more market share in the Learning Economy.
