Starting with education data
Aandachtspunten voor een veilige en betrouwbare infrastructuur
Ontwikkelt jouw instelling een infrastructuur voor learning analytics of het analyseren van studiedata, of neemt je instelling dit af? Dan moet je verschillende afwegingen maken als het gaat om privacy, ethiek en functionaliteit. SURF heeft een aantal aandachtspunten en vragen opgesteld.
Verkenning Regie op studiedata door studenten
Instellingen verzamelen veel data over en van studenten. Meer regie op deze data vanuit de student is wenselijk, zodat de student inzicht en controle heeft over de verwerking van persoonsgegevens binnen het onderwijsproces. Maar wat zijn de mogelijkheden voor een infrastructuur voor regie op studiedata?
Discussion model & manual for learning analytics
Sometimes it is difficult to determine what you want to achieve with learning analytics. Where do you start? Who do you have to involve? And what else do you need to think about? To help you with this, we have created a discussion model and manual.
