Libraries are increasingly engaging with learning analytics at their institutions. This workshop will guide participants in exploring learning analytics, privacy theory, privacy-by-design principles, and much more through exercises from the “Privacy Sourcebook” that was created by Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe and Kyle Jones. The “Privacy Sourcebook” enables librarians to document their thinking, reflect on their learning, and guide their practice in implementation. The workshop prepares librarians to engage in campus dialogues and initiatives related to learning analysis and parallel assessment and evaluation practices.
After the workshop, participants will be able to:
– Analyze learning analytics and the ways in which they may create privacy harms
– Adjust a learning analytics practice to strategically minimize privacy harms and maximize specific benefits
– Advocate for privacy protections in learning analytics policies and practices
The workshop is an offering of Prioritizing Privacy, which is supported by an IMLS National Leadership Grant (https://prioritizingprivacy.org/).
We would like to thank our colleagues at CUNY Graduate Center for hosting.
