About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

MOOCs as Shock Doctrine

Here we have a great post from Erik Loomis at the Lawyers, Guns & Money blog on how "disruption" of public education via the MOOC model is just another example of the classic privatization grift we have seen play out again and again.  The question is, do we passively allow it to happen, or do we actively resist?
