Latest CDT research shows that as online learning and edtech become a permanent feature in schools, those most affected are concerned about how student information is used
Catalyzed by the rapid expansion of remote learning brought about by COVID-19, education technology continues to occupy a large, evolving role in K-12 instruction even as schools make steps toward leaving the pandemic behind. Parents, teachers, and students, the three key stakeholder groups with the most to gain — and lose — from the way these tools are implemented, are paying attention to the privacy and equity implications of these technologies.
Today, CDT is releasing a new report featuring research on parent, teacher, and student opinions about education technology (edtech) and student data. The research, which is based on surveys conducted this summer, found that growing student privacy risks prompt parents, teachers, and students to seek more active roles in school technology decisions.
