Secure Education and Learning Research at Scale with OpenStax Kinetic
Debshila Basu Mallick; Brittany C. Bradford; Richard G. Baraniuk
Grantee Submission, Paper presented at the ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale (L@S '23) (10th, Copenhagen, Denmark, Jul 20-22, 2023)
OpenStax Kinetic is an innovative research infrastructure that aims to transform education and learning research in the digital age. With its access to large sample sizes, authentic learning environments, experimental control, scalability, security and privacy protection, Kinetic provides an unparalleled opportunity for researchers to study the complex interactions between different factors in digital learning environments. This versatile platform utilizes Qualtrics and can support various research designs, including correlational, longitudinal, and interventional studies. Kinetic's unique privacy-by-design implementation via secure enclaves ensures that researchers can analyze fully-identified data without compromising data security and privacy as well as affords greater analytical reproducibility. The findings from Kinetic can inform educational interventions and strategies to enhance student success in digital learning environments. Kinetic has the potential to significantly advance education and learning research by improving pedagogies, practices, and policies in education and learning sciences. In this demo of Kinetic, researchers will be able to interact with the test instance of the Kinetic system online and view the learner experience. All researchers will be able to engage in the experience of creating a study, releasing a study, and interacting with our implementation of secure enclaves for data analysis.
