• Noble, David F. [Oct. 1997-March 2001]
  Digital Diploma Mills: The Automation of Higher Education
  Automation - the distribution of digitized course material online - is often justified as an inevitable part of the new "knowledge-based" society. It is assumed to improve learning and increase wider access. In practice, however, such automaion is often coercive in nature with commercial interests in mind. Noble argues that the trend towards automation of higher education is a battle between students and professors on one side, and university administrations and companies with "educational products" to sell on the other. He concludes: 'It is not a progressive trend towards a new era at all, but a regressive trend, towards the rather old era of mass-production, standardization and purely commercial interests.' Don't forget to read the other articles on digital diploma mills: The Coming Battle Over Online Instruction, The Bloom is Off the Rose, Rehearsal for the Revolution, and Fool's Gold.

  Learning without Frontiers (LWF)
  There are 900 million illiterate people around the world and 130 million school-aged children who are out of school. The vast majority of learners leave the education system with limited accomplishments. Their learning capacities and motivation to learn hardly sustain beyond the schooling cycle. Conventional education systems fail to reflect (and often contradict) the vast range of new ideas, experiences and understandings from a variety of disciplines that relate to processes of learning. Conventional education systems are poorly prepared to deal with the challenges and opportunities inherent in the emerging information and communication technologies, and in the predicted information society. They have done little to address a growing problem of social fragmentation, human frustration and dis-empowerment, cultural dislocation, and technological alienation. As a trans disciplinary initiative, "Learning Without Frontiers" represents UNESCO's pro-active response to addressing the deep social and political problems that confront humanity as they relate to the role of learning in society. It views the processes of engaging in collaborative, multi channel and innovative learning as being critical for both the development of the individual and the building and linking of culturally diverse communities. LWF seeks to empower individuals to choose and to actively construct the learning communities to which they belong. This involves lowering barriers that stand in the way of individuals and communities wishing to engage in different learning opportunities. It involves a supra-national effort in critically rethinking some of the basic assumptions, processes, roles, relationships, approaches and discourses underlying conventional education systems and in creatively constructing new learning communities, and environments in which such communities can flourish.
