We won't blame Audrey Watters for the super-lame (and super-obvious) headline, even though the quotation marks make it seem like she says this in the article (she doesn't; I checked). What she actually offers is the more subtle point that "we want to do things better, and the technologies on offer aren't always the way to get us there." The technologies on offer, she argues, "take the required curriculum that is still standardised and still the same for everybody, and simply presents it to students to work through at their own pace." Better would be to "encourage students to have their own website or blog – a digital presence where they can build out their space and think about what that looks like for them, not just as future academics but as future citizens."
