Why Policies?

Modernization of EU Universities report

Recommendation 14Member States should ensure that legal frameworks allow higher

education institutions to collect and analyse learning data. The full and informed consent of students must be a requirement and the data should only be used for educational purposes.

http://ec.europa.eu/education/library/reports/modernisation-

universities_en.pdf

Recommendation 15Online platforms should inform users about their privacy and data protection policy in a clear and understandable way. Individuals should always have the choice to anonymise their data.

15

Big Data = Repurposing data

Jawbone data repurposed to measure earthquake strength

Policy for repurposing and linking of educational data sources?

16

10 Realities of Big Data Analysis

Policy for transparent usage of educational data?
