With my collaborators on the Datafied Classroom project, we’ve had a piece accepted for College & Research Libraries News: “Student privacy in the datafied classroom: Facilitating conversations with campus stakeholders.” This writing provides an overview of the project and reflections from partners who ran our facilitated workshops.

I’ve been collaboratively working on a few projects focused on edtech governance. To keep track of my efforts in this area, see this new project page: https://thecorkboard.org/edtech-governance/

I have begun my sabbatical and will return to Indiana University starting August 1st, 2024. During this time I will work on an upcoming book to be published by Cambridge University Press titled Governing EdTech in Schools and Universities. I will also be working on AI-related teaching projects.

I have a paper forthcoming in the Journal of Computing in Higher Education with Amy VanScoy, Alison Harding, and Amy Martin. The article is titled “Changing student privacy responsibilities and governance needs: Views from faculty, instructional designers, and academic librarians” and is available in my OSF research repository as a preprint: https://osf.io/frup4.
