In my world, where I create content for people I may never meet, I can use surveys to ask people about\u00a0what they liked or didn&#8217;t like, found useful or found irrelevant. But, with analytics I can see where people stopped\u00a0participating or what path they chose through the information, and potentially how this affected the learning\u00a0outcome. I&#8217;m not assigning any grades, so the information I would look for is never user-specific.<\/p>\n<p>The School of One scenario is also very interesting, and an exciting example of how we can use analytics to\u00a0create a personalised learning approach that targets the areas we need the most support. I think it&#8217;s learning\u00a0analytics at its best, and I would be interested to experience it as a student.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;What are the ethical issues around the use of learning analytics?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before reading about the &#8220;Klout kerfuffle&#8221; (Sengupta, 2011), I would have had a few concerns around this but I hadn&#8217;t imagined the\u00a0scenario that developed with Klout. With any analytics, privacy is important. I think there&#8217;s a fundamental difference\u00a0between tracking individual users interactions (which you can connect to a name or account) and collecting\u00a0generic interaction data. \u00a0And, while I feel comfortable with most analytics that are captured in order to improve the user experience, I don&#8217;t want to live in the analytics bubble that Eli Pariser spoke about.<\/p>\n<p>__________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Sengupta, S.
