Resumen
Data logs about learning activities are being recorded at a growing
pace due to the adoption and evolution of educational technologies (Edtech).
Data analytics has entered the field of education under the name of learning
analytics. Data analytics can provide insights that can be used to enhance
learning activities for educational stakeholders, as well as helping online
learning applications providers to enhance their services. However, despite the
goodwill in the use of Edtech, some service providers use it as a means to collect
private data about the students for their own interests and benefits. This is
showcased in recent cases seen in media of bad use of students’ personal
information. This growth in cases is due to the recent tightening in data privacy
regulations, especially in the EU. The students or their parents should be the
owners of the information about them and their learning activities online. Thus
they should have the right tools to control how their information is accessed and
for what purposes. Currently, there is no technological solution to prevent leaks
or the misuse of data about the students or their activity. It seems appropriate to
try to solve it from an automation technology perspective. In this paper, we
consider the use of Blockchain technologies as a possible basis for a solution to
this problem. Our analysis indicates that the Blockchain is not a suitable solution.
Finally, we propose a cloud-based solution with a central personal point of
management that we have called Personal Data Broker.
