Recommendation for Participants

When developing your policy proposal, rely on:

1. Principles – fairness, transparency, responsibility.

2. Privacy protection measures – encryption, data minimisation, students’ right of access to their data.

3. Tools and practices – which technologies to use responsibly (e.g., Moodle Analytics compared with commercial AI platforms).

4. Role of teachers – supporting students in understanding how their data is used.
