• Tools fitted with sensors• Cameras (face, movement)• Alerts for boredom,
confusion, off-task• Social monitoring
2: Personal data tracking supports learning
• Sensors for posture, attention, rest, stress, blood sugar, metabolic rate, …
• Swimming, driving, and passing examinations
• Optimise for ages and courses
• Self-monitoring

• Automated = inferior• Gaming the system• Leaks and misuse of data• Permission from learner
and inspectorates• Move away from analytics

• Learners control data sharing
• Can limit access• No permission =
no data• Awareness
campaigns about risks and benefits
5. Open systems widely adopted

recommendations about most successful routes
• Better than the best humans
