It has been a few weeks since we issued our #DigCiz call for thoughts on the question “What do we owe students when we collect their data?” and there have been a few responses. The call is in conjunction with the interactive presentation at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference that I’ll be helping to facilitate with…

Privacy and Security in DoOO: First attempt at student resource
It has been a wild few months and it feels like there are a lot of things happening at once. I’m thrilled that at St. Norbert we have gotten our Domains project off of the ground and I’m talking about and working with domains more than ever – which is wonderful. However, a few months…

Digital Citizenship Digital Identity Digital Pedagogy Digital Scholarship Domain of One’s Own Open Web PrivacyDesigning for Privacy with DoOO: Reflections after DPL
The thinking for this post comes on the tail end of Digital Pedagogy Lab (DPL) where, despite not being enrolled in any of the data or privacy offerings, concerns of student data and privacy rang loud in my ears.

Digital Citizenship and Curiosity In the beginning of 2017 I first discovered Cambridge Analytica (CA) through a series of videos that included a Sky News report, some of their own advertising, as well as a presentation by their CEO Alexander Nix.

Openness, Humanness, and Connectedness: or We can connect in the Open if you want to
In my last blog post I responded to the question “why does open matter” posed by #OpenEdMooc with the answer “because we are human” by proclaiming that open mattered because humans have a need to connect and because openness facilitates connectedness. I came across an interesting response to my post from Benjamin Stewart that I…

Why Does Open Matter? because we are human
George Siemens and David Wiley have joined up to do a MOOC on Open Education and I feel as though, with my interest in the subject, I would be remiss if I did not at least dip my toe in… I always find myself intrigued by those big broad questions and the guys have not…

#DigCiz Reflections and a #DigPed Workshop
We just wrapped up a month long #DigCiz conversation and it was really unlike any of the others. It was bigger for one thing. I was informally running Twitter stats in the background and we consistently had between 200-400 people for any given week. Not massive by any means but growing. Though it was bigger…
