Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article (9 page PDF) sets out a number of major concerns about the use of learning analytics and sets the stage for a discussion of the subject in an invited dialogue in the SOLAR Journal of Learning Analytics. Selwyn argues that he looks "beyond the assertion that learning analytics is essentially apolitical and objective" and suggests that "While you might not agree with every one of these contentions, they all illustrate the inherently political nature of learning analytics." Responses follow from Paul Prinsloo, Rebecca Ferguson, Carolyn Penstein Rose  and Alfred Essa. Image via Debbie Morrison. (p.s. if anyone has a translation of the Latin paragraph in Prinsloo's paper, please send it along - Google translate produces nonsense (maybe it's just lorem ipsum).
