Abstract

To a certain extent, the process of design is always driven by
guiding values. An ethical analysis, as it has been argued, can
help in making such a process more reflexive, highlighting
existing conflicts and discussing desirable solutions. These
premises guide approaches like Value Sensitive Design or
Privacy by Design. This paper discusses the issues of values in
technology design in the context of a platform for adaptive
learning. To what extent can principles of privacy by design be
operationalized in design practices? Using the case of an
adaptive learning platform, we describe how values have
originally driven developers’ decisions and design choices and
show how clashes between values are unavoidable. We claim
that including a collaboration between ethicists and designers at
an early stage of the design process may foster a reflection on
the ethical considerations at stake.
