Whose Learning Is It

Anyway?

(as a metaphor)

The machine won Jeopardy, but the human made the joke

Metaphors matter

The student?

The institution?The government?

Software providers?

Who owns learners’ data?

An artifact from fourth grade

Is the data portable? Is it secure?

Who has access?

What data is being collected?

Again, metaphors matter

Can we build personal data lockers*?

*also a metaphor

Putting the learner at the center...
