Abstract
Discussions of ‘big data’ in Higher Education have focused on what the institution can know about its students, and its ability to act on their behalf. These discussions appear learner-centred, but continue to attribute agency to the institution. An alternative way of framing the use of data is offered by the quantified self movement. This focuses attention on the user, asking how technology creates new representations of the self, what these mean to them, and how it changes their relationships with others. This paper will drawn on this alternative framing to raise questions about the use of students’ data, and about who could and should be expected to know about and to act on learners’ experiences.
