Special Interest Group on Writing Analytics (SIGWA)

Goals:

The Responsible Learning Analytics SIG exists to:

1. foster a research and practice community focused on the responsible design, development, deployment, and use of Learning Analytics (LA);
2. promote critical understandings of data and data ethics literacies;
3. facilitate activities that contribute to discussions of how central values underpinning responsible learning analytics (e.g., justice, equity, inclusion, autonomy, wellbeing, democratic values) can be enacted in practice, what ethical areas are challenging and why, and how the LA community can ensure sustained and updated conversations take place;
4. nurture practical reasoning on ethics, responsibility and values across the community, serve as a meeting point for researchers working on Responsible LA and help identify new opportunities and partnerships for further collaboration and funding.
