Learning in nowhere: individualism in Correspondence Education in 1938 and 1950
History of Education Review, 2009Co-Authors: Francis LeeAbstract:This article seeks to investigate the individualistic ideas, practices, and student identities that developed in Correspondence Education in the mid twentieth century. In doing so a number of questions about the individualistic pedagogy and identities in Correspondence Education are posed. How was individualism to be achieved? What pedagogic practices were used? Who could students learn from? What was the desired identity of the students? How were the student’s material circumstances understood? In attempting to answer these questions the article aims to increase understanding of the individual pedagogy and the construction of the ‘independent learner’ at work in Correspondence Education during its golden age.

Coding Copyright : The re-construction of intellectual property in Education
2009Co-Authors: Francis LeeAbstract:This dissertation studies the social aspects of technology in distance Education trough the lens of history – in the form of Correspondence Education – and a possible future – in the form of a project of technical standardization, Learning Objects. The studied cases form a reflexive tool that allows the present of distance Education to be seen in perspective.In the case of Correspondence Education, the dissertation shows how the mundane technologies of Correspondence letters, grading-forms, answer-templates and self-tests create a specific mode of organizing distance Education that bridges the rift between the two major trends in Educational modernity: massification and individualization. This attempt brought with it specific consequences for the organization of Correspondence Education: educators tried to devise methods for individual instruction, but at the same time they tried to industrialize the production through the mass-production of instructional letters. Hence, particular identities and modes of organizing Education and arose. The Correspondence Education cases are studied through conference proceedings and archive material.The contemporary cases study the heterogeneous construction of technical standards for the exchange of distance Education material between computer systems, so-called Learning Objects. Through these cases, the dissertation shows that Learning Objects are closely tied to a dream of economies of scale and a market for distance Education material with particular epistemic and technical consequences. Furthermore, the cases show how the attempt to create economies of scale results in an object oriented and modular way of reusing Educational material; and how this modularization leads to an objectified mode of handling knowledge with emphasis on atomization of knowledge, as well as the protection of intellectual property rights through DRM-Technology. The contemporary cases are studied through technical standards and text-analysis.

History and Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Francis LeeAbstract:This article is about how technology and pedagogy is co‐produced in Correspondence Education. Theoretically the article departs from post‐Foucauldian studies of materiality, and uses the concept of dispositif to construct a framework that is inspired by Foucault, Deleuze, and Actor–Network Theory. Empirically, the article treats how the tension between Educational thought on progressive individualism, scientific thinking, and automation was co‐produced with technical artifacts in Correspondence Education during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. The author shows how this co‐production led to a specific mode of organizing Correspondence Education that tried to accomplish individualization on an industrial basis, and that this mass‐individualization built on a pedagogy of testing, recording, classification, and differentiation. In conclusion the article discusses how mass‐individualization can be seen as an epitome of Educational modernity’s aspiration for equality of Educational opportunity and progressive though...
