Public Data Mining Methods, Ethics, & Legalities

• In Event: RTD - Public Data Mining Methods, Ethics, & Legalities

Short Description

In this session we will explore an emerging method of educational research: data mining. Three research teams from different universities will describe ongoing research projects where data is collected from Twitter, websites, and other social media. We will then facilitate a discussion regarding legal and ethical issues that should be considered when engaging in data mining research. We hope that this session will help establish a set of best practices among our research community.
