Supporting Students’ Privacy: How Does Learner Control over Their Data Affect the Dataset for Learning Analytics?

  • An increasing amount of data for learning analytics is available due to the spread of digital learning environments. Collecting data on student behavior and action in these environments raises the question of how personal privacy can be addressed, as students are the most important stakeholder in the process. In our study we propose a simple but powerful approach to enhance student privacy: a switch to turn the data collection on and off. We let the students decide for themselves when they want to stop and go on with the collection of their data. In this paper, we take a closer look at how our students make use of this option and when and how this influences the collected data by exemplarily investigating the data of two of our participants in detail. In our analysis we combine system log files, screen recordings and qualitative interviews.
