Ethical Codes and Learning Analytics (15 minutes) by Stephen Downes

From www.youtube.com - June 23, 2020 2:23 PM
The growth and development of learning analytics has placed a range of new capacities into the hands of educational institutions. At the same time, this increased capacity has raised a range of ethical issues. A common approach to address these issues is to develop an ethical code of conduct for practitioners. Such codes of conduct are drawn from similar codes in other disciplines. Some authors assert that there are fundamental tenets common to all such codes. This paper consists of an analysis of ethical codes from other disciplines. It argues that while there is some overlap, there is no set of principles common to all disciplines. The ethics of learning analytics will therefore need to be developed on criteria specific to education. We conclude with some ideas about how this ethic will be determined and what it may look like.

Libraries Look to Big Data to Measure Their Worth—And Better Help Students | EdSurge News

Libraries Look to Big Data to Measure Their Worth—And Better Help Students | EdSurge News | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.edsurge.com - May 7, 2019 4:35 PM
Libraries have long counted up the books on their shelves to show their value. That meant Harvard University’s library (with 18.9-million books) was clearly superior to Duke University’s (with 6.1-million volumes) or University of California at Riverside’s (with a mere 3 million titles).

These days, though, libraries are finding new ways to measure their worth. They’re counting how many times students use electronic library resources or visit in person, and comparing that to how well the students do in their classes and how likely they are to stay in school and earn a degree. And many library leaders are finding a strong correlation, meaning that students who consume more library materials tend to be more successful academically.

National learning analytics service seeks to boost student attainment and cut drop outs

From www.jisc.ac.uk - September 20, 2018 1:45 PM
The world’s first national learning analytics service has been launched for the UK’s further and higher education sectors. 

It has the potential to transform students’ learning experience, support their wellbeing and boost achievement.

The technology, which has been developed by Jisc, uses real time and existing data to track student performance and activities.

From libraries to laboratories, learning analytics can monitor where, when and how students learn. This means that both students and their university or college can ensure they are making the most of their learning experience.

Students themselves have access to the Study Goal app to track how they use their time, from revision to relaxation, to help them take full ownership of their personal learning and study strategies.

Learning Analytics and the Academic Library: Professional Ethics Commitments at a Crossroads | Jones | College & Research Libraries

Learning Analytics and the Academic Library: Professional Ethics Commitments at a Crossroads | Jones | College & Research Libraries | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From crl.acrl.org - August 6, 2018 12:22 PM
In this paper, the authors address learning analytics and the ways academic libraries are beginning to participate in wider institutional learning analytics initiatives. Since there are moral issues associated with learning analytics, the authors consider how data mining practices run counter to ethical principles in the American Library Association’s “Code of Ethics.” Specifically, the authors address how learning analytics implicates professional commitments to promote intellectual freedom; protect patron privacy and confidentiality; and balance intellectual property interests between library users, their institution, and content creators and vendors. The authors recommend that librarians should embed their ethical positions in technological designs, practices, and governance mechanisms.

From dmlcentral.net - November 10, 2017 5:02 AM
I’ve written in the past about understanding the Terms of sites you are asking students to use and been interviewed about the implications of social media in classes. This year, one of the things I want to focus on is bringing those two things together. It is important that we don’t just know the terms we are asking our students to work under when we enforce the use of social media or other proprietary digital platforms for course work, it is important we know the implications and the devastating effects these tools and platforms might have in the future for our students.

From www.edsurge.com - October 17, 2019 4:52 PM
CHICAGO — Colleges are increasingly using Big Data to monitor students, control their access to information and set them on learning paths they may not have chosen, argues Chris Gilliard, a professor at Macomb Community College, who says the practices add up to “digital redlining.”

“I don’t think education is a predictive task,” said Gilliard, criticizing the use of data systems that allegedly forecast student success or failure. “I’m seeing a whole lot of wreckage in the process that people aren’t considering.”

Learning Analytics, Surveillance, Student Success, and the Library – Open Librarianship

From celiarabinowitz.kscopen.org - May 8, 2019 4:06 PM

In my role as the library dean I have already been engaged with data-driven student success initiatives. We are still working to implement use of EAB on our campus. The company offers a set of tools that can track grades and registration (OK – we already do that). It also provides functionality that tracks visits to the tutoring center, the health and counseling centers, and can analyze how successful students are when they take specific classes and specific times. If you guessed that faculty are very wary of that last bit of analysis you’d be correct.

Code of practice for learning analytics

From www.jisc.ac.uk - August 29, 2018 2:39 PM
Learning analytics uses data about students and their activities to help institutions understand and improve educational processes, and provide better support to learners.

Learning analytics should be used for the benefit of students. This might be to assist them individually or through using aggregated and anonymised data to help other students. Learning analytics might also be used to improve the educational experience more generally. It is distinct from assessment, and should be used for formative rather than summative purposes.

The American association concerned with tech in higher education EDUCAUSE has announced its "key issues" for 2018. They were voted on by EDUCAUSE members. Some of them look like perennial issues to me, and some are rather generic (e.g. the first one seems to amount to - things keep changing!), but at least information literacy makes it in there  (albeit subordinated to digital literacy). There is an Infographic (reproduced here: copyright EDUCAUSE used under a Creative Commons licence) and some links to EDUCAUSE resources under each heading.

Strategic approaches to learning analytics in UK higher education - Jisc Repository

Strategic approaches to learning analytics in UK higher education - Jisc Repository | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From repository.jisc.ac.uk - October 22, 2017 10:45 AM
Learning analytics cannot yet be considered a mature field in UK higher education. However, the use of data about learners and their learning to address areas such as attrition and curriculum enhancement is increasingly being investigated through projects at an institutional level. A recent survey by the UK Heads of eLearning Forum (HeLF), which elicited responses from 53 institutions, suggested that there had been rapid change in the adoption of learning analytics over the past two years. Those institution s “working towards implementation” had nearly doubled from 34% to 66%. Meanwhile, the proportion of respondents’ universities not implementing learning analytics at all had decreased from 47% to 13% (Newland & Trueman, 2017).

Learning analytics: a better way to measure student satisfaction

Learning analytics: a better way to measure student satisfaction | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.timeshighereducation.com - July 7, 2017 12:30 PM

Dragan Gasevic looks at how learning analytics can be used to support the student experience as a tool for learning gain.


Understanding what satisfaction means in the context of learning is also key. Happiness is not necessarily an indicator of “good” learning. I refer to the concept “desirable difficulties”, which is well established in educational psychology, including spaced practice or self-testing. It relates to the effective approaches to learning that can be promoted by in-course expectations. Learning analytics can offer a way to understand the complex interplay between learning gains, effective study and teaching practices, and student satisfaction.


However academics and students choose to use the data that are increasingly available on their student journey, context is key. You can’t separate the data from the organisational culture, national and regional differences, pedagogical differences between courses, and the political context. Rather than applying the same data rules across all providers and courses to reach a neat set of answers, we must look at the context in which we’re operating.


Even within an institution, one size absolutely does not fit all. The approach we’ve taken with our science and technology students would not work with, say, English or history students, although we’re following with interest the development of writing analytics that some of our global partners are working on, where analytics are being used to gather evidence of, for example, the coherence and summary of an argument.
