Learning analytics are starting to become standardized in higher education as institutions use the techniques of Big Data analytics to make decisions to help them reach their goals. The widespread use of student information brings forth ethical concerns primarily in relation to privacy. While the overarching ethical issues related to learning…

Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has immense potential varying from diagnosing, decision-making in-patient care, and education. To successfully integrate AI into medicine and medical education, it is important to know the outlook and willingness of medical students. This study was done to learn about the medical students opinions about it…

Higher education data mining and analytics, like learning analytics, may improve learning experiences and outcomes. However, such practices are rife with student privacy concerns and other ethics issues. It is crucial that student privacy expectations and preferences are considered in the design of educational data analytics. This study forefronts…

With the release of Generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, an increasing interest in using Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been observed across domains, including higher education. While emerging statistics show the popularity of using AI amongst undergraduate students, little is yet known about students' perceptions regarding AI including…

The field of Data Science has seen rapid growth over the past two decades, with a high demand for people with skills in data analytics, programming, statistics, and ability to visualize, predict from, and otherwise make sense of data. Alongside the rise of various artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications, we have also…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine how higher education students think about educational technologies they have previously used -- and the implications of this understanding for their awareness of datafication and privacy issues in a postsecondary context. Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted two surveys about students'…

During a two-term observational study of my Secondary English Language Arts (ELA) class, I introduced "Surrealism" to the existing curriculum. Jot notes, personal interviews, and a self-study comprised my data strands. The COVID-19 pandemic struck shortly before my scheduled in-person interviews. This uncertainty disrupted my doctoral…

Multimodal learning analytics (MMLA) integrates novel sensing technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms, providing opportunities to enhance student reflection during complex, collaborative learning experiences. Although recent advancements in MMLA have shown its capability to generate insights into diverse learning behaviours across…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in academic writing, leveraging advanced algorithms and natural language processing to significantly improve efficiency, quality and productivity. This study investigates the use of AI tools among Indonesian doctoral students, with a particular focus on ethical standards and their…

K-12 Engineering Education has placed a lot of attention on students' attitudes or predispositions towards science and technology. However, most assessment methods are focused on STEM as a whole or only on technology. In this article, we will discuss the instrument called Technology and Engineering Attitude Scale (TEAS) which focuses on attitudes…

This article reports on a study exploring student perspectives on the collection and use of student data for learning analytics. With data collected via a mixed methods approach from 2,051 students across six Australian universities, it provides critical insights from students as a key stakeholder group. Findings indicate that while students are…

Cybersecurity has traditionally been perceived as a highly technical field, centered around hacking, programming, and network defense. However, this article contends that the scope of cybersecurity must transcend its technical confines to embrace a more inclusive approach. By incorporating various concepts such as privacy, data sharing, and…

We studied the impact of introducing first-year computer science (CS) students to ethical thinking about the social justice impacts of data collection, tracking, bias, internet privacy, and competitive "real world" system design and critique activities. While basic content was consistent for all, one group was involved throughout the…

This paper describes an advertising ethics course designed for first-year students of any major, written from the perspectives of both the course creator/instructor and the students who took the course and developed a workshop based around it. As educators, how do we help students learn and care about how their data is collected and used and…

Many studies have focused on the importance of the participation of children and young people (CYP) in their education, although fewer papers discuss the practical aspects of seeking their views and fewer again on representing them. A mixed method approach was used to collect information regarding educational psychologists' (EPs') practice in…
