[Commlist] Education Data Futures – new publication from the Digital Futures Commission

On 21 November, the Digital Futures Commission held a virtual launch of 
its new essay collection, /Education Data Futures/. This open access 
collection offers critical, practical and creative reflections 
identifying exciting possibilities for the beneficial uses of children’s 
data as well as tackling the exploitative uses (or misuse) of such data.

Authors from a wide range of disciplines, from academia to regulators, 
industry to the third sector have contributed to the collection. Some of 
the topics covered include:
