Is Access to Performance Data Good for Students?
Description:
Student data and privacy is a sensitive subject in education. But many educators and students are realizing the value in extending performance and classroom data access to students. Moderated by Inside Higher Ed's Paul Fain, this session will explore the benefits of extending access to performance data to students.
We know learning analytics can positively impact teaching and learning, but until now, this information has been put only in the hands of educators. New tools provide students with real-time access to their own learning analytics. But is this beneficial? Some say it’s empowering, but others argue it will open Pandora’s box by demotivating students and lowering confidence.
