Digital Technology and the Contemporary University examines the
often messy realities of higher education in the 'digital age'.
Drawing on a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives, the
book explores the intimate links between digital technology and
wider shifts within contemporary higher education - not least the
continued rise of the managerialist 'bureaucratic' university. It
highlights the ways that these new trends can be challenged, and
possibly changed altogether. Addressing a persistent gap in higher
education and educational technology research, where digital
technology is rarely subject to an appropriately critical approach,
Degrees of Digitization offers an alternative reading of the
social, political, economic and cultural issues surrounding
universities and technology. The book highlights emerging themes
that are beginning to be recognised and discussed in academia, but
as yet have not been explored thoroughly. Over the course of eight
wide-ranging chapters the book addresses issues such as: The role
of digital technology in university reform; Digital technologies
and the organisation of universities; Digital technology and the
working lives of university staff; Digital technology and the
'student experience'; Reimagining the place of digital technology
within the contemporary university. This book will be of great
interest to all students, academic researchers and writers working
in the areas of education studies and/or educational technology, as
well as being essential reading for anyone working in the areas of
higher education research and digital media research.
