FERPA applies to schools that receive federal funding and grants students rights related to their education records, including access and consent for disclosure. It protects personally identifiable information (PII) but allows for release of directory information if students are notified and can opt out. Exceptions allow for disclosure of de-identified data and PII to organizations conducting studies, if certain requirements are met like written agreements specifying the study purpose and destruction of PII afterward. FERPA has implications for researchers seeking access to student data from schools.
Take the Helm, Ensign! Becoming a Campus Leader with Information Literacy Ass...Colleen Mullally
This panel, originally presented on March 25, 2017 in Baltimore, MD at ACRL shows three institutions leading direct assessment data collection and analysis projects at course, program, and institution level. Also included within the presentation are other sources of IL assessment data (indirect) that may already be collected at your institution.
Description from ACRL site: Come join a conversation about how librarians can lead the way in assessing information literacy for their campuses. Three librarians will talk about their varied experiences in using the SAILS instrument, from pre- and post-testing in an IL course, to researching student success, to institutional assessment. Participate in guided discussion and activities to determine if and how this instrument (or others) can be used for positive effect at your institution.

FERPA is a federal law governing the privacy of educational records. It applies to all educational agencies or institutions that receive funds under any program administered by the Secretary of Education. It grants specific rights to students and sets restrictions on how schools may handle educational records. FERPA requires that schools obtain written permission from students before releasing educational records. In certain well-defined circumstances, some information may be released without written permission from the student.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."
These are the slides that accompany the Confidentiality Moodle lesson posted at The VIEW, White Oak Intermediate School's online curriculum site. Created by Pam Cranford, Testing Coordinator

Learning analytics as an academic research space has been growing in influence for nearly a decade. Campuses globally are deploying learning analytics to address a range of challenges including student dropout, poor engagement and targeted marketing as well as predict teaching and resource needs. As a field, learning analytics has advanced rapidly both as a research domain and as a practical on-campus activity to increase organizational use of data. In this presentation, Dr. George Siemens will explore both the research and the practice of analytics in education, focusing on the development of the Society for Learning Analytics, models for research and organizational data use and growing sophistication of data collection through psychophysiological approaches.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

5. Directory Information
Exception
Institutions must provide annual notice of information designated as
“directory information” under FERPA
Can disclose without student consent as long as both of the following are
true:
Institution has notified its students of the information it has designated as
“directory information”
Institution has given students the opportunity to opt out of disclosure
Completely
Re: particular purposes
Re: particular parties

Student’s student identification number, unless is not sufficient, on its own, to grant access student’s
education records
7. Study Exception
Can disclose PII without student consent as long as all of the following
conditions are met:
Organization is conducting study for or on behalf of the disclosing institution
Study has appropriate purpose
Developing, validating, or administering predictive tests
Administering student aid programs
Improving instruction
Study is conducted in manner that does not permit personal identification by others not

attaching a code to each record that permits matching information received
from the same source
Cannot disclose how code generated or assigned
Code must be used only for this purpose and must not enable ascertaining of PII
Code cannot be based on SSN or any other PII
10. FERPA – Implications for
Researchers
Work with schools to obtain necessary permissions to access data or
to survey students
If seeking access to UM data, work with appropriate data stewards
before/in conjunction with IRB process
See, for example, SPG 601.12
Where only data access is needed, consider alternative approaches
that could help with consent issues – but remember that school is not
required to release data!
School could de-identify data before release
School could authorize researcher to undertake study on its behalf (if meets required
purpose, etc.)
