• Remember that students are unique individuals and are much more than their data - be sure to consider the student holistically.
• Guiding principles for the ethical use of data for learning analytics state that learning analytics should be used to benefit students, instructors should be transparent about using learning analytics, instructors should respect students’ privacy and confidentiality, and should minimize potential adverse impacts.
• Additionally, UW-Madison has recently created guiding principles for the use of teaching and learning data.
