In Their Own Words: Student Perspectives on Library Participation in Learning Analytics Initiatives

 

Session Description:
Learning analytics is the “measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of [student and other data] for the purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.” Libraries are pursuing LA insights to evaluate the impact of library services, collections, and spaces on student learning. But as institutions continue to surface granular data and information about student life, the risk to student privacy grows. Find out what students think of learning analytics and how such practices intersect with their privacy expectations. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
