[Open-education] Friday Chat: Privacy and open education continued...

Fri Sep 26 11:44:33 UTC 2014

Hi Marieke, 

Thanks for kicking off this discussion, these are important issues, that we've yet to fully explore. This might be a bit tangential, but the whole inBloom saga provides a salutary lesson as to why it's important to take privacy concerns seriously.  Audrey Watters charted the rise and fall of inBloom on Hack Education http://hackeducation.com/blog/tag.php?Search_Tag=inbloom  and I also wrote a couple of blog posts about it at the time  http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/lmc/2013/03/05/another-perspective-on-inbloom/

Cheers
Lorna
