Dear all

I’d like to draw your attention to some PhD studentships the Open University currently have advertised as part of our recently-awarded ‘Open World Learning’ studentship programme funded by the Leverhulme Trust:

http://www.open.ac.uk/creet/main/news/leverhulme-doctoral-scholarships

 

One of the topics we are interested in exploring is how learning analytics can operate as a social sorting technology i.e. to examine learning analytics as a form of big data surveillance which has privacy consequences and an impact on life chances.

 

More information is available in the following document.

http://www.open.ac.uk/creet/main/sites/www.open.ac.uk.creet.main/files/files/Leverhulme_Topics_2015.pdf

 

The studentship will be located in the Open University’s Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology and will commence in October 2015.

For detailed information and how to apply for the studentships go to www3.open.ac.uk/employment, call Anne Foward, Student Coordinator, on 01908 655364 or e-mail [log in to unmask].

The closing date for applications is 9th March.

 

Many thanks

Kirstie
