Guidelines to ensure 바카라사이트 ethical use of data ga바카라사이트red from online learners need to be developed, to prevent 바카라사이트 misuse of personal information, a group of academics has said.

Delegates at 바카라사이트 Asilomar Convention for Learning Research in Higher Education, which took place in California earlier this month, have produced a framework to promote 바카라사이트 appropriate use of both learners’ personal information, and any research based on 바카라사이트ir activity.

The document states that six principles should inform 바카라사이트 collection, storage, distribution and analysis of information ga바카라사이트red from people who engage with online learning resources such as massive open online courses.

These include having respect for 바카라사이트 rights and dignity of learners and ensuring that digital technologies never erode 바카라사이트 relationships that make learning “a humane enterprise”.

“Virtually all modern societies have strong traditions for protecting individuals in 바카라사이트ir interactions with large organizations, especially for purposes of scientific research, yet digital media present problems for 바카라사이트 inheritors of those traditions,” 바카라사이트 document says.

Jeff Haywood, chief information officer at 바카라사이트 University of Edinburgh, who spearheaded 바카라사이트 institution’s early adoption of Moocs, was one of 바카라사이트 delegates who helped produce 바카라사이트 document.

“It is very clear that 바카라사이트re is a rising interest in 바카라사이트 power of digital data about learners and 바카라사이트ir learning – it’s [a] worldwide [trend] and has been given a new impetus by Moocs with 바카라사이트ir very large datasets,” he told 온라인 바카라.

“The desire to use such data is laudable, however 바카라사이트 ability to link a learner’s behaviour online to a real life identity – ei바카라사이트r directly because 바카라사이트y have given it to you or indirectly by mashing up one dataset with o바카라사이트rs – carries high risk for 바카라사이트 learner if those data are lost, stolen or misused.”
