Hacker ethic: framework for education disruption of the «Zombie University»

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show that the Hacker Ethic reflects to a great extent the ideas and thoughts of the information society (as well as the Protestant ethic represents the industrial society). We will explain how education can be clearly influenced by these ideas so we will describe two state-of-the-art tools such as MOOC and P2PU. Finally, we will suggest some actions which may aid some crumbling higher educational institutions to renovate them.
