Digital Diploma Mills: The Automation of Higher Eduction

I am neither a Marxist nor of the P.C. Left, but I taught dozens of on-line courses for various schools at all collegiate levels and to all kinds of students. Noble's assessment hits the bullseye. He wrote this book back in the early 2000s, and in the ensuing four years when I taught on-line, I saw his observations and predictions amply confirmed. It's why I don't teach on-line anymore. Sadly during this time, the abuses that Noble warned about became the norm, and pre-processed 'McEducation' came to be what on-line college students expected.
