Last week the Clayton Christensen Institute published its fourth major paper on K–12 blended learning , titled “ Is K–12 blended learning disruptive? An introduction to theory of hybrids .” Clayton Christensen joined Heather Staker , who has authored all four of our papers, and me in writing this paper, which takes a different approach from our past discussions of blended learning. Whereas our past work took a descriptive approach in defining blended learning, in this paper we analyze blended learning for the first time through the lens of disruptive innovation theory to help people anticipate and plan for its likely effects on the classrooms of today and schools of tomorrow.
The paper represents another first: we introduce formally a new concept to the world of disruptive innovation: the theory of hybrids. The process of disruption is often painted as a straightforward phenomenon. What we see from our research, however, is that the transition is rarely that clean.

Predicting the tempo of an emerging market--especially how fast it moves and what customers will be willing to pay--is hard. Just ask Education Elements. Last week, the San Carlos-based startup company, which has been a leader in helping schools adopt "blended learning," let go a significant portion of its sales force.
Anthony Kim, chief executive and founder of the company, declines to comment on the scope and numbers involved in the layoff. But while the company employed 45 people a year ago, it's now down to 23. The majority of last week's layoffs came from the sales staff. "We thought the market would be different in terms of the demand side," Kim told EdSurge in an interview. Restructuring the sales team, Kim says, should not affect Ed Element's current customers. The restructuring comes at a poignant moment for Ed Elements, which counts NewSchools Venture Fund as an early investor. Even so, Ed Elements' services are not cheap. The company is working hard to address these points.
