Formulating ELSI Guidelines within the OKLM Framework

（A-2-1） Development of OKLM Security Guidelines

Key considerations for managing educational data are summarized below. In developing the above guidelines, the applicant will proceed while incorporating feedback from members of the Science Council of Japan’s Subcommittee on the Utilization of Educational Data (which the applicant chairs), as well as from experts serving on the Ministry of Education’s advisory panel on the appropriate use of educational data.

1. Types and Formats of Data in OKLM
2. OKLM’s Data Management Structure and Methods
3. Incident Response Procedures in OKLM
4. OKLM Data Lifecycle and Access Control

（A-2-2）Developing OKLM guidelines for researchers

Key considerations for conducting research using OKLM include the following:

1. How to obtain consent when collecting data with OKLM.
2. Key Points for the Management and Use of OKLM
3. Procedures for the publishing of research findings and data

（A-2-3）Developing guidelines for OKLM users

Guidelines for teachers and students on the appropriate use of OKLM

1. Clarifying the relationships between students, teachers, and guardians
2. Important Notes on the Management and Use of OKLM

(A-2-4) Formulating Guidelines for Anonymizing Data in OKLM

The following outlines important points to consider when anonymizing educational data.

1. Understanding the Anonymization of Educational Data
2. Summary of Educational Data Items
3. Anonymization Methods for Each Data Item

Research Objective

Identifying Key Issues in OKLM from an ELSI Perspective

• Collecting information on the use of educational and learning data in Japan and abroad
• Organising key ELSI areas

ELSI Guidelines for Leveraging OKLM

• OKLM security guidelines
• OKLM guidelines for researchers
• OKLM guidelines for teachers and learners

Operational Use and Revision of the OKLM Guidelines

Current Progress

Survey of ELSI Trends and Practices in EdTech across Europe

• The project aims to clarify the distinctive characteristics of ELSI-related issues in Japan by surveying EdTech-related ELSI trends and practices in Europe and conducting comparative analyses. As part of this effort, visits were made to organizations such as the OECD Directorate for Education and Skills and the Swedish National Agency for Education.
• Comparative Analysis of Educational Data Use and Protection Policies

• Promising ELSI Policy Approaches
• Japan’s unique values and principles
