Thanks for sharing this. Yes I think context is always going to be crucial. We’re going to be sharing a couple more case studies over the next month or so which will look at some of these issues in more detail.

Aside from the ethics of whether they were empowered to have a choice in whether it would stop or not….thoughts were that it partly depended on your relationship with your line manager, especially if it is seen as performance monitoring. Some felt they were happy for a system to do the monitoring and feedback but wanted to opt-in or out at a more granular level as to who sees that feedback and analysis and for how long.

They also felt that this would not be the same for every learning activity and the opt-in/opt-out would change depending on context too as well as relationships with line manager.

I guess it kind of translates to student / instructor / facilitator / institution.
