Abstract
We engage with and respond to the debate raised by this theme issue of the International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning with a particular question in mind: namely, as universities are using new labor displacing technologies to export degrees to meet the international demand for higher education, how is this influencing" negatively and positively" the workers involved? Contemporary transitions in political and economic globalization are being used to press universities into becoming 'transnational businesses,' seemingly driven by a primary concern for marketing educational commodities.
