Welcome to the project page of the NWO Vidi project “Empowering teachers or increasing power play? Towards effective and responsible data-informed teaching in Higher Education”.

A summary of the project’s topic and aims: Learning Analytics (LA) provide detailed insights into students’ study processes that higher education teachers can use to provide high-quality education. However, this raises questions about power dynamics: when and why do teachers (not) want to use LA, and does it provide too detailed information about students? This project uncovers the complexity of this process, focusing on how the institutional context can contribute to effective preparation for the use of LA, and the impact of LA on teacher-student dynamics. The findings will result in toolkits that institutions can use to guide the responsible implementation of LA in higher education.
