Description:
The introduction of TICs in the educational process brings new opportunities, such as broader access to content and information, new ways to reach students and manage the educational process and so on. However, they also vastly extend the possibility to monitor and gather information from the student, whether by using several Internet-mediated services as online teaching tools, online textbooks, assistants and others. Even ‘traditional’ presencial education processes are concretely impacted by TICs: surveillance gears are making their way into the educational process, from facial recognition apparatus being used to register students’ attendance to classes or into School to even more intrusive frameworks that can collect data from the student, inside and outside school, in order to measure and evaluate his behaviour and habits. The panel will bring experiences and visions on the impact of surveillance and use of personal data in the educational process, discussing how this process may have specifics characteristics that can suggest different approaches to regulatory, technical or administrative solutions or measures to be taken.
