Abstract
Foundational changes at the intersection of technology, society, law, and behavior are disrupting and energizing large institutions, impacting the educational technologies and student privacy landscape at lightning speed. Greater levels of connectivity and participation are raising questions about how best to navigate new types of learning environments, how best to engage in data-driven decision-making, and how best to ensure channels for positive collaboration in decision-making. This research briefing builds upon student privacy research and activities, and aims to translate these into practical take-aways. The briefing provides a map of the current digital learning ecosystem in the U.S. primary and secondary space, surveys at a high-level critical issues in the ed tech and student privacy space, and outlines key tools and opportunities for decision-makers.
Highlights
The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University (“BKCIS”) has prepared this research briefing on educational technologies (“ed tech”) and student privacy for use by decision-makers in the private and public sectors that are charting the future of K-12 education in the digital age.[1]
In this briefing, enabled by generous support by the Ford Foundation and building on a series of bilateral and multilateral consultations,[2] the BKCIS team seeks to summarize and translate selected findings from student privacy research into practical considerations and take-aways that might be helpful to non-academic stakeholders
Part I of this briefing is an ecosystem map, i.e. a high-level survey of the following features of the public digital learning ecosystems emerging in the U.S primary and secondary (K-12) space:[4]
