“Cognitive capitalism requires knowledge and information as a key input and key output of capitalist production. Rather than pay a fair price for the development of this knowledge, MOOCs shift this reproductive work to the students, whose unpaid labor in teaching the courses develops a skilled workforce and introduces the world to a consumptive model of information.”

Matt Curinga, program director of the EdTech program at Adelphi University, from a talk at the 2013 annual meeting

of the American Education Research Association
