For my latest MOOC, I made sure I gathered no information about participants - no registrations, no names. Maybe I should write an article for a journal like this one. It reports on one instructor's self-admitted over-use of the tracking features in Instructure, and makes the suggestion that students should have the same access to data about instructors that instructors have on students. It's an interesting thought, and is a good blog post. But if the author is going to say things like "the pandemic increased that (power) imbalance through a form of disaster capitalism that had much of higher education more worried," then in an academic journal I'd like to see some evidence for that.
