This Zenodo item contains the Report and subsidiary resources and dataset on the results of the workshop undertaken by the authors: "Why should we care about datafication? Critical data literacies in higher education".

Workshop Details:

• A workshop session offered at the OER20 [online] conference
• https://oer20.oerconf.org/sessions/o-023/
• Wed, Apr 1 2020
• Theme: Openness in the age of surveillance
• Access to the Recorded Session

Through a hands-on Open Space conversation, facilitated via Mentimeter and Blackboard Collaborate we explored the challenges datafication poses for educators in our contemporary information ecosystem, and why all of us should care. The session tried to scaffold frameworks that offer participants a critical lens to analyse their own data literacies and explore pathways to data literacy and data activism in institutions and networks.

The workshop was technically implemented with success, and all the interactions were undertaken without any imprevist, due to the great support given by the OER20 committee. The OER20 community got engaged with our proposal: 94 participants were visible in the chat side and actively contributing.
