Informing the Caterpillar While Being Mindful of the Crocodile

The Universities UK #StepChange report calls for the alignment of learning analytics to student wellbeing, specifically to identify changes in students' behaviours. From research into the analysis of social media behaviours and message sentiment, it is possible to identify the onset of a depressive period. This is beyond the scope of our role, but is it possible to identify student behaviours that are of concern?
In this session, Samantha will explore why this is deemed necessary, how learning analytics may be used to identify these behaviours and what the ethical and legal issues may be in doing so.
