Description¶
The article organizes the evaluation of multimodal learning analytics around four dimensions synthesized from prior FATE research in AI and learning analytics. Fairness concerns unbiased analytics and "the equitable and impartial reporting and visualization of these analytics"; accountability concerns distributed responsibility and data access; transparency concerns articulation of data-driven insights so students can understand and trust them; ethics concerns privacy and informed consent. The study operationalizes each dimension through student interviews after an authentic MMLA deployment.
Accounts¶
- FATE framework for MMLA: fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics as student-centred evaluation dimensions: The article organizes the evaluation of multimodal learning analytics around four dimensions synthesized from prior FATE research in AI and learning analytics. Fairness concerns unbiased analytics and "the equitable and impartial reporting and visualization of these analytics"; accountability concerns distributed responsibility and data access; transparency concerns articulation of data-driven insights so students can understand and trust them; ethics concerns privacy and informed consent. The study operationalizes each dimension through student interviews after an authentic MMLA deployment. (Jin et al. (2024))
Claims¶
- Students' perceptions of the fairness of MMLA visualizations in an authentic nursing simulation deployment were mixed, hinging on accuracy and completeness of data representation [+M]
- Students supported tiered data access: broad access for self-reflection, educator access for teaching, and restricted access to raw video and audio [+M]
- Students held misconceptions about how MMLA data was collected and processed, and most relied on guesswork when explaining the analysis pipeline [+M]
- In one MMLA nursing simulation study, 11 of 14 interviewed students preferred opt-out over opt-in consent, but most did not fully read the explanatory statement [+M]
