## Should Data Analytics Drive Strategies

 Our specialist speakers, delivered a timely session at The EdTech Summit 2021 on Data and Strategy.

The rapid growth of the use of technology in education has had an impact on the way data is viewed and used across the sector. In this session our speakers go into more detail on this topic with best practice tips and real-life examples.

Key topics covered will include:

- With an increase usage of digital platforms, how has the data collected being used? How can this data inform a better delivery of education for all learners?
- The importance of digital capability within an educational institution digital strategy
- What are the ethical implications of using data analytics in education? Are the benefits of EdTech eroding individual rights and privacy?

Speakers Include:

- **Vicky Merrick**, MAT Data Strategy and Impact, Archway Learning Trust 
- **Tony Sheppard**, Associate & Founder, GDPRiS & My Data Protection World
- **Karen Foster**, Executive Director Data Analytics, Jisc
