@sarahesilverman @brennacgray @karenraycosta I am reminded of Instructure's PR during the #InstructureData debacle, which insinuated they were in a romantic relationship with us. https://t.co/nlKUltypm2🤢
Something Instructure told Dartmouth stopped the investigations (read the email). In order to prevent more harm, Instructure must make a public statement opposing Canvas surveillance. 17 students at one school is the tip of the iceberg. #InstructureData https://t.co/qet8vnYWBl
Dartmouth has withdrawn its spurious allegations of cheating and apologized to students. The harm cannot be undone, but these students have their lives and futures back, and the world is better for that.

THREAD.
I am very disappointed in Instructure (again), but not surprised.
Canvas was not originally built as a tool for surveillance... but that is what it has become.

#InstructureData
the LMS was bad when it was just clunky software for uploading Word documents...
...but then the LMS became clunky software for surveillance, which is way worse.
WAY WORSE.

LMS data privacy needs to include PURPOSE LIMITATION.
Still thinking about this. I am totally convinced it's the tip of the iceberg, with many other institutions misusing Canvas data in the exact same way.
#InstructureData cannot be used to prove a student learned something, let alone did anything wrong.

Glad to see #InstructureData concerns being reported. The data stored by Canvas and others must be purpose-limited. No games about what "data monetization" means. Every user should be able to opt out. @OnlineCrsLady @call_hoon @hypervisible @grandeped https://t.co/Rwckybhpzl
this is good news, and I am very glad to hear it:
"You can, however, request that your data be deleted. To do so, submit a request to privacy at instructure dot com."
Instructure is going to make it possible for users to request deletion of their data!
@drchuck #InstructureData
this is an important thread for understanding the pandemic
and it's also a good cautionary thread for the educrats who think they can build predictive algorithms for student performance based on pooled "big data"
#InstructureData and demise of Canvas DIG:

7/9 This is the heart of Simpson's paradox. If you pool data without regard to the underlying causality, you'll get erroneous results. https://t.co/lbPJF3A8WP
same goes for surveillance and data in education
quote "Given risk of alienating employees coupled with the possibility of error and misapplication of these tools, it is quite likely that, for many, the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze."

Even before Covid-19, employers were ramping up efforts to monitor productivity. But monitoring your employees can erode trust and increase dissatisfaction. https://t.co/sIgUEPvBRy
NYTimes is soliciting student comments on this one...
... and of course we need to be having privacy discussions about the LMS itself. more about #InstructureData and privacy/purpose-limitation:
https://t.co/5sB4JaO85Q
Is surveillance necessary to prevent students from cheating during online exams, or does it violate students’ privacy?
https://t.co/NzNLenfA51
quote "We conclude institutions of higher education are ill-equipped to protect students and faculty required to use the Canvas Instructure LMS from data harvesting or exploitation. We challenge inevitability narratives and call for legal protections for users"
#InstructureData
Bonus tweet: This has to be the best sentence I’ve read in scholarship recently.
just to clarify, the #InstructureData concerns emerged LONG before the news of Thoma Bravo acquisition:
https://t.co/5sB4JaO85Q
"In response to academics’ concerns about use of student data once Instructure went private, company formed advisory committee on student data privacy"
as with so many other problems we are seeing now, this is not a new problem; the morphing of the LMS into a tool of surveillance had already happened, and we did not stop it. more about #InstructureData https://t.co/5sB4JaO85Q

Important thread :
@BlanchardKate @suzettegrillot the dangers are absolutely real. I love teaching online, but I don't love the LMS. I used to think LMS was just clunky and annoying, but now I realize the LMS is a danger.
I've been protesting Canvas surveillance here in detail https://t.co/5sB4JaO85Q
#InstructureData #BeyondLMS
meanwhile, in other news: "Benson refuted Goldsmith’s descriptions of doubling Instructure’s available market and having tons of prediction-ready data ready to be monetized."

Sale of Instructure to Thoma Bravo Now Complete https://t.co/FnvyMTgs0j
@CopyrightLibn yes, I've been trying for about a year now to get a statement from Instructure on what IS being done with our data, and how we can protect our data by limiting its use. I've been writing about that here: https://t.co/5sB4JaO85Q
I will keep hoping for an opt-out!
#InstructureData
SO GRATEFUL to Cristina for all her hard work and leadership, and for the information she is sharing back with us. thanks for the update, Cristina!
#InstructureData
resharing for #InstructureData
In an #eli2020unconference session on analytics and the conversation is STARTING w/ thinking about the difference b/w what's ethical & what's lawful. Just b/c it's legal to keep track of WiFi log-ins doesn't mean we, uh, should (or that it's meaningful to do that necessarily).
