Reporting on a method by which one could isolate ideologically charged words from websites, the author underlines the need to pause, question and understand the underlying motives behind MOOCs, and ask fundamental questions about their data use, commercial interests, and ability to provide ?good? education. With its step-by-step ideological analysis, the author challenges educators, policymakers, and students alike to reconsider the fabric of online courses and their associated platforms. The book will appeal to scholars of digital education and sociology, as well as scholars from the critical sciences. Seb Dianati is Academic Lead in the Digital Learning Futures team in Education Strategy at Charles Darwin University, Australia. 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aTechnology$xSociological aspects 606 $aInternet$xSocial aspects 606 $aDigital Education and Educational Technology 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aEmerging Technologies 606 $aInternet Studies 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aTechnology$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aInternet$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aDigital Education and Educational Technology. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aEmerging Technologies. 615 24$aInternet Studies. 676 $a378 700 $aDianati$b Seb$01738916 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910857790403321 996 $aThe Commercialisation of Massive Open Online Courses$94161916 997 $aUNINA
