MOOCs tend to see information delivery as education, when we know that education is more about bringing your background into new opportunities that you internalize and synthesize. Information alone won’t get you an education. Information is also culturally relative, Tressie tells us. Furthermore, online technologies are good at measuring tasks but not so good at measuring learning. There’s also a risk that these systems might get tooled to “the norm” – a “roaming autodidact,” a “self-motivated, able learner that is simultaneously embedded in technocratic futures and disembodied from place, culture, history, markets, and inequality regimes.” What you end up with is a system that evaluates people who aren’t like this and constantly finds them at fault.
