We will discuss these questions with:
Jessica White, academic consultant at McGraw-Hill Education, will present concrete examples of how (small and big) digital data can be used for individualized learning opportunities. McGraw-Hill Education is a learning science and publishing company that works with schools and higher education institutions, also in Germany.
Yoni Har Carmel, researcher at the Haifa Center for Law and Technology, will share his view on the opportunities and risks of big data in education and highlight how regulation can shape a good use of big data in educational contexts. He is author of the research paper ‘Regulating "big data education" in Europe: lessons learned from the US’ that is a part of the Special Issue ‘Big data: big power shifts?’ that accompanied this lecture series.
A keynote dialogue in the series Big data: big power shifts?
The event is the keynote dialogue for the series Big data: big power shifts?, that the HIIG conducts in cooperation with the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications.
Although big data has been a major issue in the internet-related public debate, it is still unclear what impact big data has on societies today. Mayer-Schönberger & Cukier claim that big data is a "revolution that will transform how we live, work, and think". But whereas revolutions imply a profound shift in power relations, there is little evidence and debate about whether and, if so, how big data affects power relations.
The lecture series will explore this topic with speakers from different backgrounds and be backed by a special issue of the Internet Policy Review.
The event series Big data: big power shifts? is curated by Dr. Lena Ulbricht, WZB Research Fellow.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
