For those of you with money to spend on books, the two reviewed in this article (The Teaching Archive: A New History for Literary Study by Rachel Sagner Buurma and Laura Heffernan, and Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching by Jarvis R. Givens) might be useful reading alongside Audrey Watters's Teaching Machines. They form a nice contrast by looking at the struggles that take place inside the very human classroom. Best line of the review: "the only justifiable relation to the university today is to be 'in but not of' it: 'one can only sneak into the university and steal what one can.'"
