Education and Its Discontents: Teaching, the Humanities, and the
Importance of a Liberal Education in the Age of Mass Information,
by Mark Moss, is an exploration of how the traditional educational
environment, particularly in the post-secondary world, is changing
as a consequence of the influx of new technology. Students come to
the classroom or lecture hall expecting to have their habits and
tastes, gleaned from the online world, replicated in an Educational
environment. Faculty who do not adapt face enormous obstacles, and
faculty that do adapt run the risk of eroding the integrity of what
they have been trained to teach. Students now have access to myriad
of technologies that instead of supplementing the educational
process, have actually taken it over. Issues that run from
plagiarism to the erosion of the humanities are now rampant
concerns in the post secondary world. Behavior issues, YouTube
videos, cell phones, and the incessant clicking of the computer
keys are just a few of the technologies altering the educational
landscape. Moss discusses that it is now not only how we learn, but
what we continue to teach, and how that enormously important legacy
is protected. Education and Its Discontents: Teaching, the
Humanities, and the Importance of a Liberal Education in the Age of
Mass Information, by Mark Moss, argues that education has changed
and the supremacy of the book and the lecture is now open for
debate. What has been gained over the last five hundred years is
now susceptible to the vagaries of technology, which compel us to
question their continuing relevance.
