Day 2 @ 15:00

Empowering students through equity-driven Human-Data Interaction

When students engage in online learning, they leave behind digital footprints, artifacts that trace their activities such as contributions, page views and communications.  

These data are one aspect of the wider field of learning analytics (LAs). LAs encompass the broad data mining, collection, analysis, and sharing/reporting/disseminating of students’ digital footprints. 

The collection, analysis and communication of students’ data should account for addressing structural inequalities such as the ways in which data has been used to predict students’ potential, to perpetuate exclusion and the ways in which data have been used commercially rather than for learning. 

Attendees are called on to reimagine and discuss how LAs can be used to reconstruct students from passive “data subjects” into active participants in the processing of their personal data for their academic decision-making and success. 

We will discuss the pitfalls of data-driven pedagogy as well as how LAs can serve to empower students in the pursuit of equitable human-data interaction through legibility, agency and negotiability.
