Abstract

This SIE is aimed at members of the iSchool community who are interested in learning about Learning Analytics (LA) and thinking through how this arena for Big Data is relevant to the intellectual agenda(s) undertaken by iSchools. We expect that attendees will leave the session with an understanding of what learning analytics is, why LA is relevant to iSchools, and how we can design structures that support the ethical use of these tools. We will reach the broader conference community by designing the SIE to be spread over two days where the participants will query other conference colleagues between the two sessions and report back at the second session. The activity between sessions will be based on ethical scenarios described below supported by simple and specific tasks that participants will be given.
