Ethical and privacy considerations:

The used educational system is an open online system which can be used by anybody and details about individual users are not available. Users are identified only by their anonymous ID. Users can log into the system using their Google or Facebook accounts; but this login is used only for identifying the user within the system, it is not included in the data set. Unlogged users are tracked using web browser cookies. The system also logs IP address from which users access the system, the IP address is included in the data set in anonymized form. We separately encode the country of origin, which can be useful for analysis and its inclusion is not a privacy concern. The rest of the IP address is replaced by meaningless identifier to preserve privacy.
