Privacy Issues in Online Learning Environment
Chang, Bo
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education 2020 Conference (Online, Oct 27-30, 2020)
The purpose of this paper is to explore privacy issues in online learning. This study shows that there are direct legal-related privacy issues, such as students' personal data and grades protected by the FERPA, and students' right to protect their privacy in the context of a public website. There are also some privacy issues which occurred in much nuanced ways in the online learning process, such as open access to each other's work, transparent reflections, public comments, critical analysis of the assignments, critical comments, and collaborative evaluations of students' work.
