Ethical Learning Analytics: "Do No Harm" versus "Do Nothing"
Fritz, John; Whitmer, John
New Directions for Institutional Research, n183 p27-38 Fall 2019
In this chapter, we explore the obligations for individuals and institutions that emerge from the newfound insights that are enabled through learning analytics. While ethical concerns are raised through learning analytics, a misplaced trend is a "do nothing" approach as a way to assure we "do no harm." We suggest that this is a misplaced notion that reduces our impact on student success.
