Learning is social
• We construct knowledge through discussion, argument, debate, criticism, publication, public demonstration, dissemination, collaboration and teamwork.
• But that doesn’t mean that all interactions are ‘public’ all the time.
(1) Norms of information
sharing in learning

Helen Nissenbaum: privacy can be infringed when “contextual integrity” of an information flow is broken.
norms of information flow• we don’t expect that conversations we had
while learning a subject when we are in a classroom will be persistently available forever;
• we don’t expect that what goes on in the classroom will be visible to everyone all the time;
• we don’t expect that others will ‘listen in’ to our team’s discussions.

Lots more questions...
• what roles do we play during a class and how do these roles changes over time?
• do the terms ‘open’ and ‘closed’ education play any role in these decisions?
• are there ways of designing technology to accommodate norms of information sharing that change over time?
