Disrupt This!

Karen J. Head is director of the Communication Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and an associate professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication.

By showing how a professor in a top-ranked, well-funded university equipped with state-of-the-start technology was exposed to personal and institutional struggles, Head’s book asks as to the appeal for those with less financial and infrastructural privileges. Are MOOCs democratising or marginalising education? . . . Disrupt This! is a book that everyone interested in the subtleties of Higher Education and in the cost of technological changes should read.
