Online courses are prone to cultures of surveillance. Visibility is a pedagogical and ethical issue. The creeping normalisation of surveillance often accompanies technology decisions, even when addressing apparently neutral educational goals like access, enhancement or efficiency. Jen Ross talks about surveillance cultures in higher education, and how we resist, respond to and participate in them.
This talk forms part of a series of three book launch events
held in September and October 2020 to mark the publication of The Manifesto for
Teaching Online:
