Lecture 1 - DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
How does IT generally, and Data Analytics in particular, contribute to:
What are your expectations about the results you are awarded by the ANU for the courses you do? In particular, what do you think about the ideas of:
What ethical issues arise from the Robo-Debt case?
Surely Centrelink should have discovered in advance that the design of the new system was highly unreasonable. But how should they have discovered that?
Companies that you deal with on the Web do the following things, in order to maximise their revenue or profit. As a shareholder, are you happy that they do these things? As a consumer, are you happy that they do these things?

Lecture 2 - DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Think about what you're learning in this unit, COMP2420/6420. Now give some examples from this unit of data, information, knowledge and wisdom.
The ANU gathers data about your performance in this unit of study. It makes most of it available to you. It publishes some of it on your transcript. Various people will use that data for various purposes.
Consider each of the 7 data quality and 6 information quality factors, and give examples of good quality and bad quality data and information about your performance.
Apply the concepts of threat, vulnerability, security incident, harm, asset, stakeholder and safeguard to a day-care centre that looks after children under 5 years of age while their parents are at work.
Apply the concepts of threat, vulnerability, security incident, harm, asset, stakeholder and safeguard to the personal data that the ANU holds about you.
What kinds of data are most likely to be privacy-sensitive for:
Identify a couple of examples of privacy concerns that you have. (If you don't think you have any, use examples of concerns your friends or relatives have).
Which needs, harms and risk categories are relevant to those privacy concerns?
What circumstances might arise that would increase the levels of concern that people feel about those particular privacy issues?
Why is it likely that Disclosure of Personal Data may be subject to even more risks than Use of Personal Data?
Do any privacy concerns arise in relation to the Access and Correction rights that each of us has (in Australia under Australian Privacy Principles 12 and 13)?
In relation to the privacy concerns you've just discussed, to what extent do you think that the law provides adequate protections?
What PETs do you use?
What extra PETs should people use who face more serious risks than you do?
