34 | There is a good chance your your University collects data on you via homework trakers, test tacking software, license plate readers, door entry badges, library books checked out, websites visited on campus wifi, campus security cameras with facial recognition, messages read and completion rates, and you usually cannot opt out of any of this. | ||||||||||||||||||||
35 | Canvas is a LMS used by more than a third of institutions of higher learning. IT tracks what pages students view, their time spent on each page, and when they submit discussion comments or assignments. It houses students’ grades, tracks when they complete quizzes and how long they take to finish them, and it gives professors visualizations of student progress and participation in the course. The biggest issue is that "your" data is owned by Canvas, and, although it doesen't sell your data and it can only be used if it is anonymizedl, but, it can and is used to to train alorithms and predictive models. | ||||||||||||||||||||
