As education becomes more dependent on data-intensive algorithmic
systems, private corporate power continues to grow. Left unregulated,
the implications for children's basic rights and future life chances
are not to be underestimated. In this book, Velislava Hillman argues
that datafication, i.e. turning all human actions into data, and
surveillance have been normalised in eductional settings and shows how
edtech products are not improving education equally for all children.
She calls for a licensing regime which drives the edtech industry
towards ethical practices and meeting appropriate standards before
they are allowed to operate in schools. Looking beyond edtech's
potentials, this book outlines a governance framework across
socio-technical, ethical, critical pedagogic, and human rights
imperatives for governing the digitisation of education.
