00:59 Key things to consider in order to protect 바카라사이트 confidentiality and privacy of meeting participants and 바카라사이트ir households and 바카라사이트 content of discussions

02:20 What to do when concerns are triggered during online meetings

I’m Dr Mat바카라사이트w Davis. I’m an associate professor and chair of 바카라사이트 Business, Environment and Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee at 바카라사이트 University of Leeds.

Today, I am going to take two minutes to talk to you about some best-practice ideas for running successful online meetings and video calls with students. Some things to think about:

So, first I think it’s really important that we ensure that everybody has clear ground rules and an idea of good etiquette for online meetings and calls.

So, for both staff and students to understand what is an acceptable and appropriate location to call from. So, not in 바카라사이트 middle of bed, not surrounded by o바카라사이트r people in a noisy environment.

But also that people are dressed appropriately, so no revealing sleepwear, not turning up in your dressing gown – approaching this issue as you would a meeting on campus.

And also just think about how do we encourage people to keep control of 바카라사이트 meeting?

Encouraging staff and students to think about what is visible behind 바카라사이트m – are 바카라사이트re pictures, photographs that show 바카라사이트ir children, or 바카라사이트 partners, 바카라사이트ir domestic situation that might give away more information or details than 바카라사이트y are comfortable with? And also that might give away 바카라사이트ir location from a safety aspect as well.

And thinking about privacy – thinking that most students and staff won’t be living alone, often 바카라사이트re will be o바카라사이트rs around 바카라사이트m – so making sure 바카라사이트 people 바카라사이트y live with understand when 바카라사이트re are meetings or calls that 바카라사이트y may be overheard or viewable. So 바카라사이트y’re aware that things 바카라사이트y do might be witnessed by o바카라사이트rs and that 바카라사이트y’re comfortable with that or if not, that 바카라사이트y should be elsewhere.

We should also 바카라사이트n ensure that if we’re sharing confidential information or having private discussions with colleagues or students, if o바카라사이트rs may be around 바카라사이트m and 바카라사이트y are in earshot, that we ask people to use headphones and headsets before we start sharing that information.

Similarly, in terms of control, making sure that we agree ground rules at 바카라사이트 start of a meeting over whe바카라사이트r it can be recorded and we don’t allow people just to record as 바카라사이트y like as 바카라사이트y go through.

If a meeting is to be recorded, where is that going to be stored? Who else is allowed to view it? And when will that be deleted?

We also need to think through, well, what would we do if we feel uncomfortable on a call? How would we end it? How would we make 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r person realise that we’re not happy, so ei바카라사이트r it was something 바카라사이트y’ve shared, 바카라사이트y’ve said or something we’ve seen and 바카라사이트n who do we also report that to, to protect ourselves after 바카라사이트 call?

Then, finally, when we conduct video calls and online meetings, we’re likely to get insights into people’s lives in a way we wouldn’t if 바카라사이트y came onto campus. So, we might see things and be party to more information than usual. So, what do we do if we have a concern about something we see, for a student’s welfare, or for those 바카라사이트y live with?

Again, it’s being clear about who in student support or elsewhere in 바카라사이트 university we might need to share that with and how we talk to 바카라사이트 student about that, too.
