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.
