Course Description

Data and analytics are often used to answer questions in education because they are seen as objective. Yet, these approaches can involve classifying people, such as deeming some students in education as "below basic." While these labels are given for altruistic purposes, there is evidence they can be stigmatizing. In this course, we will consider the ethics of data use in education, including when it does and doesn¿t serve the public good.
