• Abstract summary: This study assessed students' perceived fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics (FATE) with MMLA visualisations. Findings highlighted the significance of accurate and comprehensive data representation to ensure visualisation fairness. Students also emphasise the importance of ethical considerations, highlighting a pressing need for the LA and MMLA community to investigate and address FATE issues actively.

• Abstract: Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) integrates novel sensing technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms, providing opportunities to enhance student reflection during complex, collaborative learning experiences. Although recent advancements in MMLA have shown its capability to generate insights into diverse learning behaviours across various learning settings, little research has been conducted to evaluate these systems in authentic learning contexts, particularly regarding students' perceived fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics (FATE). Understanding these perceptions is essential to using MMLA effectively without introducing ethical complications or negatively affecting how students learn. This study aimed to address this gap by assessing the FATE of MMLA in an authentic, collaborative learning context. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 undergraduate students who used MMLA visualisations for post-activity reflection. The findings highlighted the significance of accurate and comprehensive data representation to ensure visualisation fairness, the need for different levels of data access to foster accountability, the imperative of measuring and cultivating transparency with students, and the necessity of transforming informed consent from dichotomous to continuous and measurable scales. While students value the benefits of MMLA, they also emphasise the importance of ethical considerations, highlighting a pressing need for the LA and MMLA community to investigate and address FATE issues actively.

  We introduce Facial Identity Unlearning Benchmark (FIUBench), a novel VLM unlearning benchmark designed to robustly evaluate the effectiveness of unlearning algorithms. We apply a two-stage evaluation pipeline that is designed to precisely control the sources of information and their exposure levels. Through the evaluation of four baseline VLM unlearning algorithms within FIUBench, we find that all methods remain limited in their unlearning performance.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) in platforms like Open AI's ChatGPT, has led to their rapid adoption among university students. This study addresses the research question: How does the use of LLMs by students impact Informational and Procedural Justice, influencing Team Trust and Expected Team Performance? Our findings indicate that lecturers are less concerned about the fairness of LLM use per se but are more focused on the transparency of student utilization.

Surprisingly, we find that two of these objectives can yield insufficient representations given mild and common assumptions on the structure of the MDP.
