7. Disruptive Innovation – Disruptive Technology
‘A disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create
a new market and value network, and eventually goes on
to disrupt an existing market and value network (over a few
years or decades), displacing an earlier technology’.
‘The term disruptive technology has been widely used as a
synonym of disruptive innovation’.
Wikipedia Definition of ‘Disruptive Innovation’: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation
Current and future trends in eLearning – Dr Maria Toro-Troconis - @mtorotro
8. Sustaining Innovation
In contrast to disruptive innovation, a ‟sustaining
innovation’ does not create new markets or value networks but
rather only evolves existing ones with better value.

17. Learning is changing
Current and future trends in eLearning – Dr Maria Toro-Troconis - @mtorotro
18. Blin and Munro (2008) concluded that:
‘although use of the VLE is widespread within the university, little disruption of
teaching practices . . . has occurred‟ (2008, p. 488)
Christensen et al. argue, „traditional instructional practices have changed
little despite the introduction of computer and other modern technologies’
(2011, p. 83).

19. Learning is changing
According to Wheeler (2013), learning is change because:
“ – the pace of technology developments is changing rapidly
- what we can learn no longer has any boundaries.
- learning is also changing because we can contribute to knowledge
on a
global scale.
- we now have tools at our disposal that enable us to connect to any
knowledge we want, anywhere, and at any time we prefer‟.”

ConnectivismConnectivism is a theory of learning based on the premise that knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head of an individual. Connectivism proposes a perspective similar to Vygotsky'sActivity theory in that it regards knowledge as existing within systems which are accessed through people participating in activities. It bears some similarity with Bandura'sSocial Learning Theory that proposes that people learn through contact. The add-on "a learning theory for the digital age", that appears in Siemens' paper[1] indicates the emphasis it gives to how technology affects how people live, how they communicate and how they learn.

Vygotsky (1978) represented the first generation model of humanactivity as a simple triangle (Figure 1). Vygotsky’s model illustrates his theory thathuman beings do not interact directly with their environment. Instead, they use tools(including signs and codes as well as physical apparatus) as mediators.Engestro¨m (1987) developed the expanded model of human activity (the activitysystem) to include and highlight the collaborative nature of human activity by addingsocial elements to Vygotsky’s original model of human activity, as shown in Figure 2.The bottom row of the triangle (the layer added by Engestro¨m) features the rules,the community and the division of labour as its nodes. The rules node represents theconventions and regulations shaping an activity (such as assessment within aneducation system). Community refers to those affected by the activity, and thedivision of labour node represents who does what in an activity, thereby illustratingboth the distribution of tasks, and the hierarchy of power.
