Abstract
The proliferation of technology into the teaching and learning process has drawn ire in certain quarters of education. This chapter takes up this train of thought to elucidate on certain aspects of the digital transformation of higher education processes which threaten to suffocate the humanistic aspects of the educative process. Special focuses are placed on the pervasive and invasive encroachment of technology into all aspects of teaching, learning, and assessment in terms of its actual value to the end users—the students. The authors highlight how universities are now reflecting Giroux's neoliberalism and Ritzer's McDonaldization in their management and, consequently, depriving instructors and students of the opportunity to true quality education that should pivot on humanistic values and not the accumulation of grades. Apart from these theoretical bases, the authors present arguments drawn from empirical evidence and their own experience as long-serving academics.

Professionalism Competence: Its Role in Bringing About High-Value Care – A Case Study
The hidden curriculum is a socialization process that transmits norms and values that undermine the formal message taught during the medical education continuum. The hidden curriculum disrupts training in that its message (as it is practiced by others in authority) implies that what is formally taught as best practices is less important than what is practiced. It causes students (residents included) to move from being open-minded to closed-minded; move from being intellectually curious to narrowly focused on facts; from empathy to emotional detachment; from idealism to cynicism; from civility and caring to arrogance and irritability; and, an erosion of ethics ( Mahood, 2011 ).

Developing a Socially Responsible Approach to IT Research
Research by authors such as Anyon (1980) and others have found that some schools are built upon a hidden curriculum that supports a modernist/capitalist ideology. The hidden curriculum of schools dictates that the primary function of schooling is to socialize children to accept the social roles appropriate for their class status. This curriculum works to teach poor and working-class children to be subservient and punctual, middle-class children to fulfill management-type roles and professional/elite children to dictate political, social, and cultural policy.
