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.

Accessibility, Scenario 3

39292

You are a program administrator and/or staff member. Your department has just started an undergraduate ePortfolio requirement. You have vetted potential platforms to ensure they fit your ePortfolio program’s purpose and are accessible to students across devices (including assistive technologies). You are now ready to introduce the requirement to educators and start adapting the curriculum.

As you plan the professional development sessions that will roll-out this new requirement, you are careful to make space to share technical knowledge. You ensure that educators get to know the platform and how the platform can adjust for students with disabilities or different device preferences. You also talk to educators about accessible ePortfolio design. You include topics from the Web Accessibility Initiative WCAG2.1 resource, such as alternative text, meaningful sequence of content, and accessible design principles (non-text contrast, spacing, etc.). You have educators practice viewing example ePortfolios on multiple devices and with a screen reader. You then provide educators with local and online resources. You plan to review platform accessibility in your ePortfolio professional development workshop each year.

2. Accessibility, Scenario 1 You are a student participating in an internship as part of your work-integrated learning requirement in your Hospitality Management program. Your position as sous-chef in your favorite restaurant in town gives you rich learning opportunities, and you want to document these experiences not just in text but also in multimedia content. Your internship mentor is okay with you taking photos and video of the kitchen and your work to share in your portfolio.
3. Accessibility, Scenario 2 You are an educator. Your institution is finalizing its ePortfolio choices. As a member of the selection committee, you are tasked with verifying that each platform is compliant with the accessibility standards adopted by your institution. In this role, you collaborate with any units that work with students with disabilities to involve them in testing, asking them to provide a representative for the team that makes decisions.

3. 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.
