AAEEBL Digital Ethics Principles v.2: version 2 Main Menu Principle Summaries and Table of Contents Review all thirteen principles' abstract summaries and navigate to different parts of the document. Introduction: How to Use This Document Support Institutions should provide appropriate support for students, educators, administrators, and staff who create ePortfolios. Promote Awareness Institutional administrators, staff, and educators are responsible for promoting awareness of digital ethics in ePortfolio making. Practice ePortfolio creators need opportunities to develop and practice the digital literacies necessary to create accessible and effective ePortfolios. Evaluating ePortfolios ePortfolio evaluation should consider process, inclusion, reflective practice, and alignment with the stated objectives of the context in which the ePortfolio was created. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Decolonization (DEIBD) Educators are aware of equity-related challenges and address learning needs related to each student’s identity, culture, and background as they create ePortfolios. Accessibility All ePortfolio platforms and pedagogy should be thoroughly vetted for accessibility according to the standards identified by one’s culture, government, or profession. Access to Technology Adequate access to technology must be available for all students, and ePortfolio software should be accessible with institutional devices. Respect Author Rights and Re-use Permissions ePortfolio creators should understand and respect author rights, best practices for re-use, and representation. Privacy ePortfolio creators should have ultimate control over public access to their portfolios and the ability to change the privacy settings at any time. Consent for Data Usage ePortfolio platform providers need consent to collect and store data from ePortfolio creators. Content Storage ePortfolio creators should know where their content is stored, who has access, and how to remove it. Cross-Platform Compatibility ePortfolio creators should be able to make and view ePortfolios across any device, browser, and operating system with equitable ease of use across devices. Visibility of Labor The labor required by students, educators, and administrators to create, develop, implement, support, and evaluate ePortfolios should be visible, sustainable, compensated where appropriate, and counted toward evaluation and advancement.

Content Storage, Scenario 4

39292

You are a program administrator and/or staff member who has been asked by your institution to start a campus-wide ePortfolio initiative as part of its Quality Enhancement Plan. There is nobody at your institution who regularly vets technologies intended for teaching and learning, and you have limited knowledge of ePortfolios and suitable platforms in general. When you gather a committee to consider different ePortfolio technologies, you make a list of priorities: students’ ability to edit and share their ePortfolios both as students and after they leave the institution, universal design practices for creators and viewers, privacy capabilities for authors, and minimal direct cost to students. However, the committee soon realizes it has thought very little about use of student data, which is a big concern.

As a committee, you develop a series of criteria related to student data and privacy and their acceptable options. These criteria will help eliminate some potential ePortfolio platforms. These questions include the following:

Does the platform collect identifiable or de-identified personal information?
Where is data stored, and how is this data protected?
Does the platform sell this data to third parties?
Is user data collected/used/shared for non-authorized purposes?
Can the user remove their data, and what is the process by which they do that?
How does the platform inform users of changes to their EULA?
Are vendors held to equitable standards for privacy and data collection/storage?

If students choose their own platforms for ePortfolio creation, you provide resources that inform them about potential platforms and how each platform collects, uses, and stores user data.

2. Content Storage, Scenario 1 You are an undergraduate senior. You are required to develop a ePortfolio of your experiences and reflections over the duration of your final capstone course. As part of the assessment task, you are able to use the web portfolio platform of your choice. Your institution provides you with a list of possible options and outlines the benefits of using each one. However, you are concerned about how each platform may use your information once it is uploaded because recently you have seen advertisements pop up on your phone based on your previous web searches.

4. Content Storage, Scenario 3 You are the ePortfolio Program Director and decided on the purchase of a particular ePortfolio platform that is the primary platform for your institution. You receive an email from your ePortfolio provider stating that the end user licensing agreement (EULA) will change in three months, the negotiated notice period for your institution. In preparing your response, you want to consider any changes to student data collection and storage. When you negotiated the contract with this provider, you were clear about your institution’s policies regarding student data collection and storage and required that the provider notify you via email of any changes and give you the right to terminate the contract if changes violated the institutional policy.
