| Publisher Description: In 2013 the philosophy department at San Jose State University stood almost alone against its own administration, a group of opportunist politicians, and a well funded high-tech start-up who were all attempting to destroy university education as we know it by pushing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In the aftermath of this modern day academic stand at Thermopylae a member of the department conducted his own reflections on the art of teaching while at the same time documenting the MOOC controversy. Here is a collection of essays on teaching born out of a real educational crisis, along with an inside perspective on the ongoing fight against MOOCs. Published in large print (www.c2op.com). |
