Digital technologies and the commercialism of education
About this episode
Faith Boninger talks about how digital technologies are increasingly implicated in the commercialism of education.
We talk about Faith’s involvement in the long-running NEPC reports on virtual high schools, the NEPC’s fight against personalised learning systems, and why tech companies have an insatiable urge to ‘fix’ education.
