Abstract:

This open access book takes an innovative and critical look at the
ways in which digital data and algorithms are changing the face of
higher education in multiple ways.
It examines their impact at both the macro scale of universities and
systems worldwide, but also at the more subtle level of effects on
academics and students. In doing so, it focuses on the day-to-day life
of the university, examining how the digital is changing the way that
we communicate, learn, and create new knowledge.
As well as exploring the role of 'big data' and learning analytics,
the book also focuses on areas of academic life not normally
considered to be part of datafication, such as the physical structures
of surveillance on campus and the ways in which systems of 'quality'
in research can morph into regimes of surveillance and algorithmic
discipline.
Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, the volume interweaves
insights from Surveillance Studies, Science and Technology Studies and
Postphenomenology. . Its wide-ranging analysis generates fresh,
critical new insights into the nature of communication, semiosis,
textual practices, subjectivities and knowledge practices at this
dynamic and fast-moving juncture in the history and development of
higher education worldwide.
