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.
