Not likely. Not exactly. But the point is still important.

In ed tech, schools are the customers, but students are the users.
This is the central disconnect in my opinion. Companies and schools are both talking about what's right for students on a level, the sustainability of both institutions, that doesn't necessarily equate with what's right for teaching and learning.
-
In the start-up world (including in ed tech), the true customer is the investor, who merely needs to be convinced the project is worth taking a flier on.
I find the previous point more convincing. The article glosses over the processes/research necessary for a start-up to get SV funding not to mention grant-funding.
-
Max Ventilla of AltSchool was previously “Head of Personalization” at Google. Jose Ferreira has a Harvard MBA and was managing director of new markets at Kaplan. Adam Braun of MissionU did have a connection to education, but it was as a fundraiser for his non-profit Pencils of Promise which focused on building schools in impoverished areas of foreign countries
Not convinced that these resumes are causal in the failures of these projects.
-
The story of someone who claims to be able to revolutionize a complex field without possessing relevant expertise seems to have some parallels in education technology.
Fair point but more important is whether they've done their research, have folks on their team who have.

Public support for higher education is declining—in both dollars and respect—while Silicon Valley companies and other for-profits have moved in. Put simply, colleges are following the money.
And so innovation is moving in the wrong direction? Or at least colleges and universities are following the market, SI, instead of developing based on their needs.

Rather than shun the "tyranny of relevance" — a concept within the liberal-arts community that refers to the need to demonstrate tangible benefits of humanities-research funding — we should embrace it.
Yes!
-
The need to understand the human dimensions and impacts of those advances, as well as the basis for making many of the ethical decisions that should guide their use, has never been greater.
In fact, this is a very specific aspect of humanistic studies: technology studies and any and all related fields.

First, what has happened, as in time that students spend on tasks, clicks and downloads. Second, what does it mean for a student’s learning, as both formative and summative assessment.
All of this should be available to students themselves.

But this framing also rises from our embrace of a technological solution to a pedagogical problem.
Can't it be both? Techno-pedagogical? Or technological with a strong influence of pedagogical understanding?

through a series of flipped switches and clicked buttons.
This feels highly reductive of much of the technology that's developed around online learning.

Turk.
I wonder if there was something racial about this word choice? I'm thinking of Othello's self-referential last words:
And say besides that in Aleppo once, Where a malignant and a turbaned Turk Beat a Venetian and traduced the state, I took by the throat the circumcisèd dog, And smote him, thus.

Faculty members may not stipulate on the syllabus how they treat their students (although they probably should), but their practices are as much a form of pedagogy, and arguably more so, than any list of required texts, assignments, or due dates.

Mechanical Turks of education technology
Not exactly. Student labor in most of the examples given has been harvested as data for the improvement of their and other student experiences. Students have been made into Mechanical Turks of university bureaucracy? Again, consent is definitely at issue here. But I don't think it's simply corporate exploitation.
-
all possible future uses of these data, since those uses are not fully known yet, or even knowable.
?
-
corporate products
Corporate here is used as a kind of trigger word--and there's a lot of slippage between academic and corporate throughout this piece. The above paragraph talks about a university's use of data to improve student retention.
-
Arizona now uses some 800 data points — on academic performance, financial aid, and use of the university’s course-management system, among other things — to identify which students are most at risk for dropping out. Those predictions are about 73 percent accurate from the first day of classes, with the accuracy rate improving over time, according to a university official.
Whether students consented to this data extraction aside, isn't this a good thing?
-
information about me will be used to evaluate the behavior of other people is a question we don’t know how to ask very well.
Again, I don't see how this knowledge structure is a problem. Putting aside AI and informed consent, if I'm teaching a class and students in one semester struggle with a concept, what's wrong with me adjusting my curriculum to better present it next time?
-
When it comes to collecting student data, the notion of informed consent is simply not a part of the model.
Don't disagree that it should be, but don't don't think this account captures the complexity of what's going on--or is presented in such a way that those who can make this change will care to listen to.
-
That is the point of ideas like predictive analytics and plagiarism detection: using data generated by some people in the past to predict and understand the behavior of other people in the present or future.
Doesn't this practice describe a wide range of academic fields? For example, ethnographic studies in sociology and anthropology are used by scholars to make larger claims about groups in human society.
-
Such developments should make us question the growing number of education-technology practices now in place at colleges across the country.
What development exactly? Microtask services? All AI? And all education technology?
-
students often provide the raw material by which ed tech is developed,
This is an incredibly broad statement. It doesn't need to be. Clearly there are technologies that are exploiting labor in this way. It's just not all ed tech.

We normally acknowledge, however grudgingly, that writing must betaught and continue to be taught from high school to college and perhapsbeyond. We accept it, I believe, because we can see writing, and we know thatmuch of the writing we see is not good enough. But we do not see reading.We see some writing about reading, to be sure, but we do not see reading.
It's not just reading that's invisible, it's all the pieces of the puzzle that make up the formal close reading/writing that goes into a college essay:
- reading
- annotations
- class notes
- class discussion
- outlining

Students are simply not in the same place at the same time anymore, and technological interventions can help recreate some of that social loss if managed effectively.
Yes. Too often tech is seen as displacing the real, which it certainly can. But it can also extend the real when done right.
-
Practitioners have to interpret the machine learning-based results. If not, universities are going to be driving their strategies toward machine learning-derived outcomes that might not impact student success.
Well said.
-
it still takes good old-fashioned qualitative work with faculty, staff and students to really understand the answer the machines might be giving us
Absolutely. They just have more information upon which to advise.
-
Instead of adaptive learning playing the role of supplemental tool -- and a very good one in many cases -- these technologies could be sold off as a cheaper, faster and less contentious road toward a credential that will support advancement in the future work force.
While I wouldn't argue for circumventing a liberal arts education, politics is not the only reason a person in need of a college degree could benefit from alternative credentialing systems. I'm thinking here of students with full time jobs.

But third-party accounts currently don't have access to https://hypothes.is web pages, including the pages for creating and joining private groups.
What if the process is automated though? That is, what if Canvas sends the H app information to create a group and it happens behind the scenes?
-
you need a Public group to be the default one when the user isn't a member of any private groups
This seems a problem. The overall group should be private.
-
We considered giving third-party Canvas accounts their own set of groups that behave the same as first-party groups
I think this is right.

(e.g. "canvas" rather than "hypothes.is")
Really, I think it should be "utexas.canvas".

Within the *specific" Canvas authority? Ie. hypothesis.instructure.com?
-
in an authority
Does this mean a namespaced "group" like elife?
-
When Hypothesis is launched within Canvas: The Canvas app should create a private group, within the Canvas authority, for the Canvas course that the Canvas app is currently being used in, if such a group doesn't already exist. The Canvas user (student or teacher) who has launched the Canvas app should automatically be a member of the group. The Hypothesis client should be locked to this "course group" in the groups dropdown menu.
This sounds amazing! And, as I said, kills two birds with one stone: authentication and privacy.

It’s about giving students an opportunity that most of them will never have again in their lives: the chance for serious exploration of complicated intellectual problems, the gift of time in an institution where curiosity and discovery are the source of meaning.
Okay, but how does a teacher, an institution evaluate whether or not this experience is being delivered? It's not like that's just working because colleges exists? In fact it's not working for lots of people it needs to work for most, no?...
-
It means helping students immerse themselves in a body of knowledge, question assumptions about memory and orient themselves toward current events in a new way.
Are these not skills and relatively measurable as well? Are they more experiences?
-
“They need to be challenged and inspired by the idea of our disciplines.”
Seems like this could lead to a disservice too, though. Like saying come marvel at our hallowed halls and be transformed in some vague way...
-
No intellectual characteristic is too ineffable for assessment. Some schools use lengthy surveys like the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory, which claims to test for qualities like “truthseeking” and “analyticity.”
Thinking of @gardnercambell's work on "insight" here.

All professors could benefit from serious conversations about what is and is not working in their classes. But instead they end up preoccupied with feeding the bureaucratic beast.
Still not clear to me exactly where the slippage happens here?

In 2006, the Commission on the Future of Higher Education, convened by Margaret Spellings, the secretary of education at the time, issued a scathing critique of American higher education. “Employers report repeatedly that many new graduates they hire are not prepared to work, lacking the critical thinking, writing and problem-solving skills needed in today’s workplaces,” the Spellings Commission report complained.
I don't have the facts to back this up at the moment, but isn't this at the same time that "a college degree/education" was considered the single most important requirement for high quality employment?

There are few solutions to the problems of digital discourse that don’t involve huge trade-offs—and those are not choices for Mark Zuckerberg alone to make. These are deeply political decisions. In the 20th century, the US passed laws that outlawed lead in paint and gasoline, that defined how much privacy a landlord needs to give his tenants, and that determined how much a phone company can surveil its customers.
Is the point here made clear enough: this should not just be a job for the tech companies, it needs to be more so government intervention?
-
To be clear, no public sphere has ever fully achieved these ideal conditions—but at least they were ideals to fail from. Today’s engagement algorithms, by contrast, espouse no ideals about a healthy public sphere.
Ideals, yes, but also simply guardrails.

And most importantly for the account with which I am directly concerned here, it skews against exactly the sort of collective and interactive dialogic and discursive analysis on which much learning across the human sciences depends.
Does it? Even with interactive tools like Hypothesis?
I value the power of face to face conversation above all else, but there's no doubt in my mind that various forms of interactive technology have occasioned conversation where there never could have been and extended and deepened conversation that has taken place in person.
-
Humanities succeed as an institutional site, in the final analysis, only by making narrowly institutionalized humanities obsolete, by perhaps putting us out of business as an isolated, discrete institutional site and into the academy as engaged interlocutor pretty much across the curriculum.
This is a fascinating point. I'd love to read a sci-fi novel or a university plan that enacts this vision. Imagine English professors embedded in engineering departments!!

public value
Totally agree about this--and even with its instrumentality, which David likely wouldn't--but would like to see this "value" more fully articulated.

Post-humanities speak to the ways in which the material and conceptual conditions establishing the conventions by which humanities once were structured and recognized no longer obtain.

-
The humanities require technological reflexivity and self-reflection as much as technology calls for critical humanistic engagement.
Love this, though I'm not convinced that this work isn't being done to the degree claimed here.
-
The point is to make out these values publicly in a much more robust and sustained way while also building curriculum more coherently, at least in part, around these capacities. Call this “diversifying the humanities portfolio.”
I'd love an updated report on this work!
-
Nevertheless, the fee revenue generated and the relatively low per student costs in educating students in at least the traditionally conceived humanities make them less the dependent family member than is often assumed (Newfield 2008), though the heightened cost of digital humanities now pulls somewhat in the counter-direction.
This is interesting. If that's the case, are the humanities in crisis? Or can they just be left alone, like that uncle no one talks to but gets by on his own.
-
the perception that in the past two decades academic humanities themselves became more introverted, more technical in language and modes of analysis, more specialized and self-concerned.
This isn't real?

Security itself actually is justified less as a public good than as a sort of baseline Hobbesian individual right, a more general right from which the right to bear arms is derivative, and that for which the state supposedly was socially contracted into existence. Even something as basic as health has been reduced to individualized, private concern: the virulent attacks on “Obamacare,” accordingly, have been fueled by its supposed intrusion upon individual freedoms.
Well, this trend has certainly come to a head more recently (current admin taking away health care, building a wall).

So what is it: publisher or platform? Facebook seems to have finally recognized that it is quite clearly both.
Right. You really can't separate the two; it's a false choice to begin with. Every platform has an ethics or politics to it even if it's largely hidden from site.
-
“interacting with people is positively correlated with a lot of measures of well-being, whereas passively consuming content online is less so.”
This seems like good news for Hypothesis.
-
Every publisher knows that, at best, they are sharecroppers on Facebook’s massive industrial farm. The social network is roughly 200 times more valuable than the Times.
Ugh.

For years, The New York Times resented that Facebook helped elevate BuzzFeed; now BuzzFeed is angry about being displaced by clickbait.

Trump’s candidacy also proved to be a wonderful tool for a new class of scammers pumping out massively viral and entirely fake stories.
Another succinct account of the "abuse" of Facebook for misinformation during the 2018 election.
-
Inside Facebook, almost everyone on the executive team wanted Clinton to win; but they knew that Trump was using the platform better.
Was using the platform better? Or using a platform that was designed more for a certain kind of messaging and message that was unintentionally aligned with Trump's campaign/movement?
-
The point was partly to get feedback.
To address a problem that didn't exist. To a problem that was actually the very opposite (politically) of what was being addressed.
-
Instead, Facebook spent the spring of 2016 very busily fending off accusations that it might influence the elections in a completely different way.
There's something about the misdirection here that stands in for our (mostly the media's) misplaced attentions throughout this Trump era. We're constantly being pushed to attack or defend something that's slightly off where our real focus should be and in fact somehow undermines our ability to truly focus in on what the problem is...
-
In early 2016, its security team noticed an uptick in Russian actors attempting to steal the credentials of journalists and public figures. Facebook reported this to the FBI.
"Fake fake news"?
-
neutrality is a choice in itself
Right
-
it’s hard to imagine how Facebook could exist if it were liable for the many billion pieces of content a day that users post on its site.
Yup.
-
Humans are social animals. But the internet is a cesspool. That scares people away from identifying themselves and putting personal details online. Solve that problem—make people feel safe to post—and they will share obsessively. Make the resulting database of privately shared information and personal connections available to advertisers, and that platform will become one of the most important media technologies of the early 21st century.
Nice concise summation of the rise of Facebook!

This continued design effort will attempt to challenge the imposed artificial timeframes, so as to continually engage course alumni, nurture a sense of sustained community, and foster boundary-crossing across cohorts of students.

Slack provided a replacement of traditional threaded discussion forums
So, Hypothesis/collaborative annotation is not a 1:1 replacement of discussion forum.
-
In addition, to negotiate the public--private boundary, the designer-instructor allowed course registrants to annotate either publicly or in a private Hypothesis group---both using a same course hashtag (Goal 4).
Wow. I would love to see in-depth data/analysis on just this!
-
portability of posts not widely supported in threaded discussion forums (Goal 2)
Key point. Hypothesis needs to make this possible within the client.
-
tags could be used to bring together Hypothesis annotations that are potentially scattered in different webpages
Do forums ever have a tagging feature?
-
discourse of varied publicity---private in a dyad, public in a private group, public to external communities---could have their unique strengths in fostering cognitive, social, and cultural aspects of discourse.
My question here is always about FERPA and general privacy concerns. I'm all for more public engagement by students, but aren't the forces of IT arrayed against this?
-
While a traditional discussion forum is separated from the objects being discussed, a more powerful discourse environment is able to incorporate various web objects into discourse to maintain its contexts.
Same could be said for page bottom comments in online newspapers/magazines.
-
threading structure of discussion forums leads to branching and increasingly fragmented conversations, with repetition and duplication appearing in different threads
Of course Hypothesis uses threading as well.
But is threading really the issue? Isn't is more a matter of the correct "parenting" of forums and replies? It's part of the skill of discussion/discussion forums that student-users read other's posts and not repeat what has been said before...
-
self-organization of discourse participants around ideas
This authentic discourse is definitely better achieved via annotation in which students self-select passages to annotate and annotations to reply to.

The difference between capital then and now is that now isn't relatively easy to find out if something's made poorly--everyone's reviewing everything.

NOTE for LTI providers: Since developer keys are scoped to the institution they are issued from, tool providers that serve multiple institutions should store and look up the correct developer key based on the launch parameters (eg. custom_canvas_api_domain) sent during the LTI launch. For open source Canvas users, you can generate a client ID and secret in the Site Admin account of your Canvas install.
So this replaces the dev key creation process?

Annotation made ideas that could have simply died in print live on and flourish collectively.
I love this idea that annotation can breath life, collaborative and emergent, into academic writing.
-
publicly available on the web annotation platform, Hypothesis,
Hypothesis doesn't make it publicly available--we're not hosting the content. But in any case, it IS openly published which is the more important point.

I prioritize reading first, and online discourse second
As it should be. It's one of my bigger concerns about the use of collaborative annotation in education, that it will displace the text or at least encourage a kind of skimming of text via annotation.

What about FERPA? The student is controlling how much information is out there. Similar to a public blogging platform being run by a university, FERPA only requires that student records (and what constitutes a “record” is debatable) not be public unless a student gives permission. In this case if the student wanted to sign up and lock down their hosting they can certainly do that, no one is requiring them to make their information public. This also comes back to our strict privacy policy (see previous question)
Interesting approach.

There is a habit in tech culture of saying that the latest app is “democratizing” whatever it happens to do. This is lovely, but best not to confuse it with actual democracy. Democracy is about participation with control, freedom with accountability, privacy with transparency. Tech companies tend to pick and choose from that list rather inventively.
Great line

As in Slow Food—with its unhygienic soil, disorderly farmers’ markets, and inconvenient seasons—the annoyances of Slow Computing have become pleasures. With community-made software, there’s no one to blame but us, the community. We’re not perfect, but we’re working on it.
I really feel like the analogy works. I have for example begun to take pleasure in the messiness of vegetables bought at a farmers' market compared to the seeming perfection of those a a grocery store.

One of the requirements of the program is that schools create a Student Tech Team to co-design technology policy, help lead the pro-gram roll-out, and serve as advisors and troubleshooters throughout the program. Giving stu-dents co-ownership of the program increases engagement and reduces disciplinary issues.
Very cool.

Social DistanceIn addition to problems of bias,
I'm not sure these are different things.
-
Even when efforts are deployed with the explicit inten-tion of serving disadvantaged youth, learners who are part of more entitled, tech-savvy, and highly edu-cated families take advantage of new programs and opportunities more aggressively, and at higher rates.
But where exactly is the "bias" here? In the design? In the implementation?
-
Affluent students use the same tech-nologies to support richer forms of learning with greater adult mentorship.
I'm interested in digging deeper into this claim/research. Is this just another way of saying under-served populations are still under-served despite technological access?
-
When new educational tech-nologies spread beyond progressive developer and early adopter communities, the weight of existing institutions and norms can squash their disruptive and transformative potential.
While this is no doubt true in some contexts, it can't be ignored that technologies--even those created by "progressive developers"--carry with them into educational institutions certain in-built values, pedagogies, etc.

move beyond practices of civic participation
I don't want to speak too soon, but this concerns me. I'm all for imagining new kinds of civic participation or "innovation," but at some point there needs to be a connection to the established means of engagement and action, right? If everyone is just Tweeting and note marching or Tweeting and not voting, then we have a kind of virtual movement.
