What is Contextual Integrity

Advancing the Power of Learning Analytics and Big Data in Education
Nissenbaum (1998) developed the concept of privacy as contextual integrity to propose a normative framework that evaluates the flow of information about individuals. It assumes that our privacy is associated with and regulated by the flow of information based on norms that are context-relative. These norms include context, actors, attributes, and transmission principles and they affect the flow of information from information senders to information receivers to information subjects.

Ethics in Predictive Learning Analytics: An Empirical Case Study on Students Perceptions in a Northern Irish University

Abstract
Most universities collect large amounts of students' data to enhance teaching, understand student behaviour, and predict their success. However, such practices raise privacy and ethical issues due to sensitive data harvesting practices. Despite the recognised importance of this topic, few empirical studies address how students perceive the ethical issues related to predictive learning analytics (PLA). To redress this, interview data collected from 42 undergraduate and postgraduate students in a Northern Irish university were thematically analysed. Findings suggest that there are at least three distinct groups of students having varying assumptions about ethics in PLA. They are (1) naïve and trusting, (2) cautious and compromising, and (3) enlightened and demanding, and all of them tend to narrowly focus only on the issue of informed consent. An empirically supported argument for the need for PLA researchers to recognise the within-group variations in student populations and to educate all types of students in issues related to ethics is presented.

Nissenbaum (1998) developed the concept of privacy as contextual integrity to propose a normative framework that evaluates the flow of information about individuals. Accordingly, given the multifaceted nature of individuals’ identities, contextual integrity is violated when the informational norms associated with a specific social relationship are breached.
