A set of questions to be used in class to introduce the concept of academic integrity.

Reminder of ECS academic integrity tutorial, scenarios for small group discussion on 1) academic integrity 2) integrity in the workplace. Students are invited to draw parallels between these two aspects.

Abstract: Big Data has been characterised as a great economic opportunity and a massive threat to privacy. Both may be correct: the same technology can indeed be used in ways that are highly beneficial and those that are ethically intolerable, maybe even simultaneously. Using examples of how Big Data might be used in education - normally referred to as "learning analytics" - the seminar will discuss possible ethical and legal frameworks for Big Data, and how these might guide the development of technologies, processes and policies that can deliver the benefits of Big Data without the nightmares.
