1. What is the Platform for Innovative Learning Assessments (PILA) and who does it involve?
PILA comprises a user-facing website and a data collection platform with learning and assessment content, which requires a PILA account. PILA content includes, but is not limited to, activities that build and assess student competencies, digital reporting dashboards and customisation features/tools to create new or modify existing activities.
PILA is a non-for-profit initiative that is managed by the PISA Research and Innovation team at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the Directorate for Education and Skills. The core technology behind PILA is developed and managed by Know Learning, a US-based non-governmental organisation.
2. How does PILA ensure the protection of personal data?
PILA uses a highly secure system to protect both your and your student’s personal data. Wherever possible, the system avoids collecting and storing personally identifiable information from students in the PILA databases. PILA never saves student names in the databases, but it does enable a secure data loop between the teacher and their students. Only the teacher can see their students’ names during an active session while the teacher is signed into their PILA account.
PILA recommends that teachers and students use their educational email account when creating or signing into a PILA account using one of the available third-party providers for single sign on (SSO). If the educational email accounts are not compatible with the available third-party providers for SSO, the teacher can request that the OECD PILA team add a compatible SSO by contacting edu.pila@oecd.org.
Apart from creating student accounts within their secure teacher account, PILA strongly recommends that teachers (and their students) refrain from including any personal information, whether relating to the teacher, student or another person, on the different spaces of the Platform where they may provide content.
3. What personal data does PILA collect, and for what purposes?
For the purposes of allowing access to account creation on PILA, the OECD or country team collects your full name, email, educational institution and location to confirm your status as an educator. The Platform collects your full name and email from your chosen Authentication Service (e.g. Google, Microsoft).
For the purposes of providing information on what your students know and can do, PILA collects students’ time-stamped interactions with the platform and their responses.
Personal data collected from students on the Platform should not have any direct impact, whether positive or negative, on student’s final grades. The Platform is intended to provide support to teachers and students to support the learning process.
In order to ensure the effective functioning and security of the PILA website (pilaproject.org) and to better understand visitor behavioural patterns, as you browse the PILA website, we automatically collect:
- Log information such as the pages you visit and the time/date of your visit, as well as your internet prototcol (IP) address.
- Device and software information such as your browser specifications and operating system.
This information is collected through the use of various technologies, including cookies (i.e. small text files stored in your browser).
Student and teacher data will never be exported from the PILA databases and used for research purposes without explicit consent before the data collection occurs. Research studies for which schools/teachers opt-in will first involve a dedicated consent process (including options for guardians of students or students themselves to opt-out of participation/data collection or request data deletion without consequence).
4. Where are PILA data stored and for how long?
PILA takes the safety of your data seriously. The OECD will store securely your full name, email, educational institution and location as long as your account remains active at the OECD, outside of the PILA databases. The Platform will store securely your full name and email from your chosen Authentication Service (e.g. Google, Microsoft) as long as your account remains active on PILA.
The Platform is hosted externally to the OECD by Know Learning, and thus the personal data collected when signed into PILA will be processed by Know Learning affiliates, Google Analytics and Google Cloud Platform, which are based in Frankfurt, Germany (EU).
All teacher and student data resulting from uses other than research studies and national projects will be archived (i.e. moved offline in a secure database) after one year. All data are permanently deleted after one year of archiving. Teachers and/or students can request access of their own data during this year of archiving by contacting edu.pila@oecd.org. Access to personal data stored within the Platform is limited to appropriate staff members within KnowLearning.
For PILA Thailand, all student and teacher data will be archived (i.e. moved offline in a secure database) after three years. All data are permanently deleted after one year of archiving. Teachers and/or students can request access to their own data during this year of archiving by contacting edu.pila@oecd.org.
The PILA website is hosted in the United States by a company called Vercel. The PILA website allows Google Analytics, based in the United States, to access the data generated by your activity and store it using cookies. This data is processed in a way that does not directly identify you.
Data are processed in line with the OECD’s Personal Data Protection Rules.
5. What rights do you have related to your personal data on PILA?
Under the OECD’s Personal Data Processing Rules, you have rights to access and rectify your personal data, as well as to object to its processing at any time, and request erasure. To exercise these rights for your own data or that of your students, please contact data-requests@knowlearning.org.
If you have further queries or complaints related to the processing of your personal data, please contact the OECD’s Data Protection Officer (dpo@oecd.org). If you need further assistance in resolving claims related to personal data protection you can contact the OECD’s Data Protection Commissioner (dpc@oecd.org).
