Description

Everyone from Silicon Valley corporations and neoliberal policymakers, to digerati journalists and reform-minded university educators have asserted that for-profit MOOCs - massive open online courses - are fundamentally changing the face of North America 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 before with high quality courses, relieve students of sitting through boring lectures by freeing up time for meaningful in-class dialogue and interactive debate, allow students to personalise their education with a mix of online and offline platforms, and give the world's poor access to free, high-quality education.MOOCs for Sale 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.
