Why the predicted digital revolution in higher education stalled
In short: In 2013, experts warned that an 'avalanche' of technology would sweep away traditional universities. Six years later, the landscape remains largely intact despite a flood of new buzzwords.
Professor Richard Harvey examines the reality of e-learning by cutting through the noise of terms like MOOCs, SPOOCs, flipping, and DIYU. While these technologies offer fascinating possibilities, they also present significant implications for privacy and occasionally result in 'weird and wacky' outcomes.
The lecture serves as a critical review of whether digital learning has fundamentally restructured academia or merely added layers of terminology to existing systems.
