ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates what is already immediately possible in the field if one consider the ways software mediates and shapes our experiences. The author argues that when examining participant's engagement in online environments, researchers must be sensitive to active and stealthy role that software plays. Also defines the term as the use of software-powered technologies to examine sites of study associated with humanitarian areas like literature and historical artifacts. Selwyn, N. Distrusting educational technology: Critical questions for changing times. New York: Routledge. Taubman, P. M. Teaching by numbers: Deconstructing the discourse of standards and accountability in education. One of the most outspoken opponents of neoliberal education reforms is educational historian Diane Ravitch, he argues that public education is being systematically outsourced to the private sector via a series of discursive and legislatives moves that promote achievement. Advanced Placement courses, educational videos, game-based history courses, and so on. Thus the fact is that education will continue to be mediated by software.
