SXSW EDU 2022
Higher Education’s Last Blockbuster?
Description:
The Netflix documentary The Last Blockbuster retells the gradual “death by digital” of the once-ubiquitous stores during the shift to DVD and streaming video. While a similar fate has been predicted for higher education's legacy textbook model, it has failed to fully materialize—leaving students to foot the bill for rising textbook costs. Join this panel to hear divergent perspectives on why higher ed has not yet reached an inflection point in the unbundling of digital course content.
