Topic: Disrupting College: How Disruptive Innovation Can Deliver Quality and Affordability to Postsecondary Education Speaker: Louis Soares, Director, Postsecondary Education Program, Center for American Progress Date: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 Time: 1:00 p.m. ET (12:00 p.m. CT, 11:00 a.m. MT, 10:00 a.m. PT) In today's web seminar, Soares will share key insights and observations from a recent report co-authored by Clayton Christensen, Michael Horn, and Louis Caldera that examines higher education through a lens of disruptive innovation.
