Just another Critical Data and Education site
I have a number of reflections after an interesting journey with data and visualisations. I now have a greater understanding of how complex, inter-related and ever-changing data are. Learning analytics and data allow for responsive information for learners, teachers and […]

As we move into the teaching with data block, I did want to start off to say that I’m not a teacher (last time I was in class with kids was over 5 years ago and that was in a […]
