Controlled outputs, full data: A privacy‐protecting infrastructure for Mooc data
Learning analytics research presents challenges for researchers embracing the principles of open science. Protecting student privacy is paramount, but progress in increasing scientific understanding and improving educational outcomes depends upon open, scalable and replicable research.

Mobility and phone call behavior explain patterns in poverty at high-resolution across multiple settings
Call detail records (CDRs) from mobile phone metadata are a promising data source for mapping poverty indicators in low- and middle-income countries.

CDRs are passively collected and provide information with high spatial and temporal resolution. Identifying features from these data th…

Education interest groups have spent in excess of $2 billion lobbying Congress since 1998. Higher education…

The Power of Black Music: Interpreting its History from Africa to the United States
Floyd has written a path-breaking book on the development of African-American music and its influence in America. He shows how African myths and ritual - especially the ring-shout dances that were ubiquitous in West Africa - have underlain the development of all black music in America. It puts black music - and American music in general - into a new and exciting perspective
