Abstract

Ethical considerations and the values embedded in the design and use of Learning Analytics (LA) systems have received considerable attention. However, little is known about how conceptual understandings of ethics work in practice and what tensions practitioners (e.g., researchers, teachers, learners) experience when designing or using LA with care. This interactive workshop will provide participants with a space for dialogue around Responsible LA. We invite participants to bring edge cases to discuss ethical considerations covered and not covered in LA practices. The outcomes will help inform LA practitioners on ethical tensions that need to be addressed with care and researched.
