This episode is based on the report "Ethics in EdTech: Consolidating Standards For Responsible Data Handling And Usercentric Design" by Atabey, Robinson, Cermakova, Siibak, and Kucirkova, which examines the ethical considerations of educational technology (EdTech) and emphasizes ethical practices, robust data protection, ownership rights, transparent consent processes, and active user engagement, particularly with children.
The authors argue that EdTech can be a powerful tool for enhancing learning, but it also presents significant risks to students' privacy, security, and well-being. They highlight the need for a new culture in EdTech ethics, one that emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and accountability.
