MOOCs for Sale: Informational Capitalism and the Edu-Factory

Tanner Mirrlees

4.9/5 (15086 ratings)

Description:By public accounts, for-profit massive open online courses (MOOCs) are fundamentally changing North American and global education, and for the better. The promises of the MOOC are many: they are said to enable a few excellent professors to teach more students than ever, relieve students of sitting through boring lectures by freeing up time for meaningful and interactive in-class dialogue, allow students to personalize their education with a mix of online and offline platforms, and give the world's poor access to free, high-quality education. This book offers a clear and systematic critique of the promotional hype surrounding for-profit MOOCs and, in its place, puts forward a grounded political-economic analysis of the material world that MOOCs exist within and the power relations that shape them. By doing so, it poses a rejoinder to the claims about the positive effects of for-profit MOOC companies and joins the current public debates surrounding the future of higher education and the role of information and communication technology in it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
