Decentralising power: how we are trying to keep CALLector ethical
This addresses ethical concerns for developers and users of language learning tools, but it is incremental as it focuses on architectural design without new empirical results.
The paper tackles ethical issues in the CALLector project, which aims to build a social network for online CALL resources, by proposing a decentralized, pluralistic open-source architecture as the solution.
We present a brief overview of the CALLector project, and consider ethical questions arising from its overall goal of creating a social network to support creation and use of online CALL resources. We argue that these questions are best addressed in a decentralised, pluralistic open source architecture.
