Technology-enhanced active learning (TEAL) spaces support students in projecting presentations (e.g. from smart-phones) and sharing notes (e.g. from smart-watches) with peers. Importantly, this sharing is partly amongst their co-present small group but sometimes to the whole class. However, plugging personal things into smart spaces whose first requirement is to accept as many devices as possible is not without consequence. A projected notification of a political conversation, for example, has the potential to harm the individual both within the space and beyond, opening them to unwanted judgment, criticism and assessment. This talk is focused on considering the importance of privacy when repurposing personal devices as tools for classroom activities.
Tea and coffee will be available.
Open to University of Glasgow staff.
