In a workshop at last week’s AMOSSHE conference, we discussed how wellbeing analytics might be able to assist existing Student Support services. Slides: jisc andrew cormack 4×3 v2 Student support is simplest when an individual themselves asks for help: a support service can immediately begin to discuss – using toolkits such as that developed by UHI […]
Earlier this week I did a presentation to a group from Dutch Universities on the ethics work that Jisc has done alongside its studies, pilots and services on the use of data.

With the GDPR having now been in force for more than six months, my talk at this week’s EUNIS workshop looked at some of the less familiar corners of the GDPR map.

One of my guidelines for when consent may be an appropriate basis for processing personal data is whether the individual is able to lie or walk away. If they can, then that practical possibility may indicate a legal possibility too. When we’re using learning analytics, as a production service, to identify when students could benefit […]
For those who couldn’t make it to the Jisc GDPR conference last week (and those who did, but want a refresher) the slides are now available. Presenters were told to ensure they gave lots of practical advice, so whether you want ideas on GDPR in Further Education or Research; need to work on an asset […]
Last week I spoke at the UCISA CISG-PCMG conference on some of the tools we have been using within Jisc to apply the requirements of the GDPR. UCISA has now published a recording of the session, as well as a copy of my slides. The previous day, I did a more detailed presentation on one […]
A few hours after the result of Thursday’s referendum on membership of the European Union, I gave a presentation on the significance of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, due to come into force in May 2018. That might seem a waste of time, but my suggestion was that the referendum result might in fact […]
