Many experts believe that the rapid digitization of education over the past ten years has undoubtedly been a 'good thing.' Neil Selwyn challenges this received wisdom and questions the values, agendas and interests that stand to gain most from the rise of digital education. His concise, up-to-date analysis concludes by considering alternative approaches that might be capable of rescuing - and perhaps revitalizing - the ideals of public education, while not denying the possibilities of digital technology altogether. -- from back cover ER -
