Use of technology for educational purposes has evolved in such a way that it started intimidating students. Apparently, some guys designed a software which, supposedly, is capable of predicting student failure in advance. Although the designers had planned to introduce this program to forewarn the learners who were likely to underachieve before it was too late, a good number of students started complaining that "the data [would] be used to label them before they [had] a chance to make their own impression on a teacher". Issues of digital redlining and privacy were raised by many students whereas the proponents, many of whom are teachers, continue to argue that the program was designed only to "help educators find and help students at risk of failure".
