Data Ethics : How Educators Can Use Data Effectively and Responsibly

Data Ethics: How Educators Can Use Data Effectively and Responsibly describes the concept of data ethics, which has become an increasingly important topic in education practice, in part due to the proliferation of diverse data sources and the growing complexity of students. It is important for educators to know how to use data both effectively and appropriately. Educators are often faced with accountability pressures that may cause them to make decisions that are sometime problematic. This book describes what data ethics are and how new technologies, especially those based on artificial intelligence can challenge the appropriate use of data. It provides authentic scenarios that university instructors, professional development providers, in-service trainers, and individuals can use to help educators better understand data ethics.
