Education has until recently promoted social mobility, broad
economic growth, and democracy. However, modern universities direct
policy and resources toward criteria that exacerbate income
inequality and reduce social mobility. Online education can make
education more socially, geographically, temporally, and
financially accessible, impacting the higher education industry,
governments, economies, communities, and society in general. Thus,
education's shift away from scarcity affects the differential
earnings and socio-political influence of all concerned, and online
education impacts, and is impacted by, such shifting power
structures. Socioeconomics, Diversity, and the Politics of Online
Education is a cutting-edge research publication that explores
online education's optimal design and management so that more
students, especially those traditionally underserved, are
successful and can contribute to their communities and society.
Additionally, it looks at the political/regulatory, diversity, and
socioeconomic impacts on online education, especially for online
education demographic groups. Featuring a wide range of topics
including globalization, accreditation, and socioeconomics, this
book is essential for teachers, administrators, government policy
writers, educational software developers, MOOC providers, LMS
providers, policymakers, academicians, administrators, researchers,
and students interested in student retention and diversity and
income inequality as well as promoting social mobility and
democracy through accessible public education.
