the university and the algorithmic gaze

＂Presenting a cutting-edge critical analysis of how data, algorithms and surveillance are changing the face of contemporary higher education, this open access book explores the role of ’big data’ and learning analytics to provide new insights into the impact of the digital on the day-to-day life of the university. Offering an interdisciplinary and international perspective, it considers the changes to the ways in which we communicate, learn, and create new knowledge within the ’algorithmic age’＂--
