"Educational data-mining also presents ethical questions. How much should students be told about the behind-the-scenes computer analysis that manipulates their educational experiences? And how far should colleges go in shaping those experiences based on data patterns?"
— I found Colleges Mine Data To Tailor Students’ Experience, from The Chronicle of Higher Education, totally fascinating, even as I haven’t totally wrapped my head around how I feel about the piece. Certainly, the concept of applying educational data-mining seems to raise as many questions as it answers. And, as my colleague, David McGaw, who forwarded me this story asks: “What’s the next application of similar preference-matching algorithms now we’ve used them for dating, books, movies, and college? Real estate? Jobs? Food?" Great question, and fascinating topic.
