Fiona Harvey's insight:
I constantly refer to this as an example of why portfolios and badges can work together and should. The badge is part of your identity and the portfolio compliments and enhances it.  I am particularly interested in how evidence-based learning contributes to an online profile. NB: I deliberately didn't bother with the 'e' before the portfolio as it feels a bit redundant now.

Higher Education’s Panopticon? Learning Analytics, Ethics and Student Engagement

Higher Education’s Panopticon? Learning Analytics, Ethics and Student Engagement | Technology Enhanced Learning Research & Applications | Scoop.it
From link.springer.com - December 3, 2017 6:44 AM
Is learning analytics a movement that seeks to rebalance the effects of higher education’s apparent blindness to privilege, its unequal access regimes and persistent retention and attainment gaps thro
Fiona Harvey's insight:
Superb paper on the use of Learning Analytics within Higher Education. In particular, the question of consent and knowledge to give that consent.  Students often agree with their data being used without really understanding the impact of that decision. 

It is really well written and opens up all sorts of questions that should be discussed.

Some thought provoking content here from Jim Groom and Brian Lamb with contributions from the work of Audrey Watters and Martin Weller amongst others.  A really inspiring piece from Educause.  Every Higher Education senior leadership team should be discussing the issues they raise from digital identity, open access, creating content and university systems.  Go light some fires.

Okay, so this is something that I watch candidates go through, and also something I discovered when I started to give feedback as a supervisor myself.
