ISBN: 1-58367-092-0 (pbk) 128 pages Digital Diploma Mills: The Automation of Higher Education by David F. Noble In the first book-length analysis of the meaning of the Internet for the future of higher education, David Noble cuts through the rhetorical claims that technological developments will bring benefits for all. His analysis shows how university teachers are losing control over what they teach, how they teach, and for what purpose. It shows how erosion of their intellectual property rights makes academic employment ever less secure. The academic workforce is reconfigured as administrators claim ownership of the course-designs and teaching materials developed by faculty, and try to lower labor costs in the marketing and delivery of courses.
