Malish C. M., Assistant Professor, Ashank Desai Centre for Policy Studies, IIT Bombay discussed how the platformisation of digital platforms (in education) is exacerbating three tensions in higher education:
- individualism versus community
- independence versus interdependence
- structure versus flexibility
and legitimising “individualisation of inequalities”.
He also discussed the larger implications of the platformisation of education on the democratisation of higher education and the need to develop a critical perspective on the adoption of education technology.
