Data and Technology Ethics Inquiry Education roundtable

Universities and colleges can learn a lot about students behaviour and use predictive analytics to target those with specific needs or who may be about to drop out of a course, significantly improving their life outcomes, however monitoring student attendance, library use, internet browsing, among other behaviours, may be viewed as undue surveillance and there may be concern over the legitimacy of university decisions about students based on potentially biased algorithms.
