Educational data scientists face ethical conundrums when working with student data. They must determine how to properly measure, collect, analyze and report learning analytics and demographics for understanding and optimizing learning, while also protecting student privacy and gaining staff support. Key questions include what data to focus on, whether and how to use the data they have access to, if learning analytics approaches actually work, and how to address concerns of teachers and other staff.

School administrators need strong technology skills to support teachers and students, but many lack these skills due to factors like growing up before the technology revolution and limited training opportunities. To improve their skills, administrators should self-assess their abilities, seek out available training programs, stay up to date on technology changes, and lead by example through their own technology use. They can then help provide technology professional development for teachers and help the whole school integrate technology effectively.

Learning Analytics - what is it and why is it difficult (InfiniteConf Bytes)

Samantha Ahern

The document discusses learning analytics, which refers to the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of student data to understand and optimize learning. Some applications of learning analytics include early alert systems to identify at-risk students, course recommendations, adaptive learning, and curriculum design. However, learning analytics also faces challenges because it is difficult to determine if it actually improves student outcomes, how to address privacy and ethics concerns, and how to ensure buy-in from end users.

Student data: the missing link in solving the student departure puzzle?

University of South Africa (Unisa)

The document discusses the use of student data to understand student departure from university. It questions whether collecting more data will truly solve the problem, noting that data is framed and context matters. The document outlines some of the data universities already have on students, who has access to it, and whether students can opt out. It argues for an ethics of care approach where students are involved, their privacy is respected, and responses are tailored based on understanding complex interactions rather than just correlations in the data. The role of algorithms is also questioned.

Learning Analytics: Realizing the Big Data Promise in the CSU

John Whitmer, Ed.D.

The word “analytics” has become a buzzword in current educational technology conversations, applied to everything from analysis of student work to LMS usage reporting to institutional analysis of ERP data. Broadly speaking, Learner Analytics refers to the analysis of student data using statistical techniques to improve decision-making. In the context of educational technology, Learner Analytics promises to improve our understanding of effective (and ineffective) student learning and technology usage. What progress have we seen in realizing this promise? This session offers a discussion of the promise of Learner Analytics, current research findings and tools, and explores examples from CSU Chico and the CSU Office of the Chancellor.

Human-Centered Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Education: H...

Yannis

Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Learning Analytics (LA) have shown their potential in Education, stakeholders’ agency seems to be threatened. On the other hand, multiple issues regarding FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency and Ethics) have been raised when AI or LA-based solutions are designed and implemented. These issues have been especially acute since the emergence of Large Language Models and Generative AI. This talk discusses the quest for an optimal balance between human and computational agents, when LA tools and services are employed in a Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) ecosystem. Through the discussion of relevant conceptual models and examples, it argues for Human-Centered Learning Analytics (HCLA) and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) approaches, where agency and FATE principles are essential design parameters. The talk focuses especially on LA/AI solutions that may position teachers as designers of effective interventions and orchestration actions. Selected Human-Centered Design (HCD) principles are discussed and illustrated, and directions for future research and development are formulated to overcome the main obstacles for adoption of human-centered approaches for LA and AI in education.

University of Exeter data sources, green = curently in use, amber = planned, red = not planned How much do these sources tell us about student learning and how much about the system? Are they true proxies or just low hanging fruit Should we include all this data, is some of it truly relevant. What about privacy? NTU did not include demographics – cannot change what has happened, focus on engagement
Exeter systematic review of LA interventions, lack of empircal testing and evaluation – only identified 4 studies that evaluated the effectiveness of LA interventions, 20 studies reviewed Main issue was weak design LACE project evidence base: evidence.laceproject.eu
