The internet has reshaped significant portions of our social, economic and political life, yet elite higher education remained relatively resilient to these changes through the 2000s.Using evidence from three years of field work at Harvard, Stanford and MIT, this talk analyzes the role of Massive Open Online Courses in accelerating the struggle over the future of elite higher education in the digital era. Presented by Benjamin Gebre-Medhin, professor of sociology.
