    Learning in the ‘platform society’: disassembling an educational data assemblage Ben Williamson, Faculty of Social Science, University of Stirling, UK [email protected] [Pre-publication version of paper accepted in Research in Education, special issue on ‘The data deluge’] Abstract Schools are increasingly involved in diverse forms of student data collection. This article provides a sociotechnical survey of a data assemblage used in education. ClassDojo is a commercial platform for tracking students’ behaviour data in classrooms and a social media network for connecting teachers, students and parents. The hybridization of for-profit platforms with a key public institution of society raises significant issues. ClassDojo is designed to influence how school leaders and teachers make decisions, how schools connect with parents, and how teachers act to change students’ behaviour. Conceptualized as a ‘public sphere platform’ ClassDojo is reshaping discourses, practices and subjectivities in schools. In particular, ClassDojo provides evidence of how the business model and political economy governing social media—‘platform capitalism’—is being inserted into public education. It is prototypical of education in an emerging ‘platform society,’ and of how student and teacher subjectivities are being reshaped by the presumptions and worldviews encoded in digital platforms. Keywords behaviour change, data assemblage, ClassDojo, platform capitalism, platform society, subjectivity Schools and teachers are increasingly tasked with the collection of data about students via technical platforms that originate in the private sector and are plugged into public sector institutions. Global technology companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon have established huge presences in public education and are competing for their share of school business (Cavanagh 2017).
