Do they want an institutional identity?" I get nervous around the whole user centric debate, as the saying goes "the problem with band wagons is that while they move fast they don't take you where you want to go". I have yet to see anyone suggest any kind of true user centric identity for students that would actually work in real practical terms for all students. You might get a subset of computer savy students who really benefit from user centric identity but the rest will be left disenfranchised, confused and exploited. With user centric identity at present it isn't "My Identity", it's google's or facebook's and they will exploit and control that identity for their own ends. “student engagement with the whole user-centric debate.
