Part of the problem with advocacy journalism (and this surely is an example) is that the authors tend to jump straight into advocacy and justification before even telling us what they're talking about. This article is about Unizin, a 27-institution consortium that manages student data and learning resources. It is about "tipping the table in favor of the academy" in a world where an increasing number of private organizations are providing services such as MOOCs, analytics, and online program management. The article describes Unizin's content management platform and agreements it has made with companies such as Kaltura and TurnItIn.
