Despite the importance of learning analytics in digital education, there is limited support for researchers in education to generate, access, and share experimental data while complying with ethical and privacy legislation. We propose a set of related tools that support researchers with these tasks and present a blueprint for how these tools can be integrated with existing platforms, enabling researchers to run studies within learning environments, adhere to legal and ethical privacy frameworks, and share their anonymous or anonymized data with a wider audience. We demonstrate the integration of these features into an existing online learning platform.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
