“Big data is like teenage sex: everyone
talks about it, nobody really knows
how to do it, everyone thinks
everyone else is doing it, so everyone
claims they are doing it...”

4. When the Chancellor announces the adoption
of a new economic modelling technique…

…we query the
limitations
of the model
9. Similarly, when we are confronted with
new learning analytics…

learning. Journal of Interactive Media in Education 14. http://jime.open.ac.uk/article/2008-14/352
“In this study, results showed that
OLI-Statistics students [blended
learning] learned a full semester’s
worth of material in half as much
time and performed as well or
better than students learning from
traditional instruction over a full
semester.”

“observing, measuring, describing,
categorising, classifying, sorting, ordering
and ranking). […] these processes of meaning-making are never
wholly neutral, objective and ‘automated’ but are fraught with
problems and compromises, biases and
omissions.

22. For Morozov, analytics is
where technological
solutionism hits education:
22
“This flight from thinking
and the urge to replace
human judgments with
timeless truths produced by
algorithms is the underlying
driving force of
solutionism.”
23. Could analytics help us shift from the calculating
mind to the contemplative mind?

Alex Pang: “A contemplative stance can help people be
more creative; deal with complex problems that
require months or years to solve […]
Contemplation promotes both self-sufficiency and
close, questioning observation of the world, and both
are particularly valuable in this moment in the history
of technology.”

“Classification systems provide both a
warrant and a tool for forgetting [...]
what to forget and how to forget it [...]
The argument comes down to asking not
only what gets coded in but what gets
coded out of a given scheme.”

“The test of successful education is
not the amount of knowledge that
pupils take away from school, but
their appetite to know and
their capacity to learn.”
Sir Richard Livingstone, 1941

53. “We’re looking at the profiles of what it means
to be effective in the 21st century. […]
Resilience will be the defining concept.
When challenged and bent, you learn and
bounce back stronger.”
“Dispositions are now at least as
important as Knowledge and Skills. …
They cannot be taught.
They can only be cultivated.”
