Resumen/Abstract
 

In this presentation, I hope to not only trace some of the ethical issues in the collection, analysis and use of student data by humans, and increasingly, at the intersections of human-algorithmic decision-making systems. As higher education increasingly becomes digitised and datafied, we have access to greater volumes, variety, nuances and sources of student data. This allows us to develop and use Artificial Intelligence to not only collect and make sense of the data, but also to respond to students' learning needs, potential and risks of failing. There are, however, a number of ethical issues to consider in the nexus of student data and human-algorithmic decision-making systems.
