Description

Digital technologies are increasingly integral to education. Schools and universities operate along high-tech lines, while alternative forms of online education have emerged. This book challenges the prevailing view that digital technology has been a 'good thing' for education. Instead, it considers what is being lost as digital technologies become more central to education. Neil Selwyn examines the values, agendas, and interests that stand to gain from the rise of digital education. He questions whether the digitization of education over the past decade has had a positive impact. This concise analysis concludes by exploring alternative approaches that might rescue and revitalize the ideals of public education while still acknowledging the possibilities of digital technology. By considering these issues, Selwyn offers a critical perspective on the role of technology in education.
