Assistant Professor Kyle Jones has received two Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grants in support of his research agenda on learning analytics and student privacy.
The first grant of $306,682, which is a collaboration with Amy VanScoy at the University at Buffalo, will investigate faculty perspectives of student privacy and their practices in relation to emerging learning analytics tools and initiatives.
The second grant of $249,198, which is a collaboration with Lisa Hinchliffe of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, will support the development of a continuing education program that will train academic library practitioners to comprehensively address privacy and other related ethical implications of learning analytics projects (e.g., autonomy, agency, and trust). The training program will guide participants to explore learning analytics, privacy theory, privacy-by-design principles, and research ethics and then present participants with case studies.
Both of these grants compliment Dr. Jones’s existing research on student privacy perceptions and expectations related to learning analytics, which was initially funded by IMLS in 2018.
