This post responds to Melissa Loble, Instructure's new Chief Customer Experience Officer, who wrote a post called Data Privacy: Our Current and Future Commitment. "Unfortunately," writes Laura Gibbs, "her post does not even mention the possibility of a data opt-out." She argues, " I think the purpose of data in an LMS should be limited to the courses in which students are enrolled, and any use of data beyond that purpose should be protected by a data privacy policy, requiring permission for reuse beyond that original purpose." But why take a course-centered view? Why not a student-centered view, and say "the purpose of data in an LMS should be limited to the student from which it is collected." After all, what is good for Instructure is surely good enough for the University of Oklahoma. Isn't it? Image: TalentLMS. Via Aaron Davis.
