ALT & Apereo Screenside Chat. Ethics & Learning Technology. Perspectives from the Pandemic.

Presented by: Paul Prinsloo (UNISA), Dr Charles Severance (Learning Experiences) and Bella Abrams (University of Sheffield)

Session Description:
The urgent need to respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic has thrown issues surrounding the ethical use of learning technology into sharp relief. Have institutions made trade-offs between rapid response and privacy concerns? Does what often appears to be surveillance technology compromise the trust of students? Can we reach for an overarching ethical framework to help inform decision-making? This flipped panel will highlight issues - and responses - across higher education in the last year, including work on learner privacy, and the Association of Learning Technology’s work on an ethical framework.
