A new report by Jisc has been compiled to help universities, colleges and research institutes think about the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), and to combat “unfairness” or “unexpected effects” for students and staff in education and research.
Having dropped out of university because of loneliness and depression, Hayley Mulenda – a former speaker at Jisc’s annual Digifest event - says effective use of data analytics and greater diversity of academic staff are crucial in supporting students.
If data about struggling students is to be used in a way that supports their mental wellbeing rather than harms it, what kind of data do learners want to see and what actions do they want it to trigger? We find out from projects that have talked to their students to discover just that.
