ABSTRACT

This study explored student privacy issues in online learning environments. Vignettes are used to present the various privacy scenarios occurred in online learning environment. The study showed that there are direct legal ramifications of concern to students, as a result of sharing individual grades among group members and providing public feedback in blogs. Other privacy issues occurred in more nuanced ways, such as open access to each other’s work, transparent reflections, public comments, critical analysis of the assignments, and collaborative evaluations of students’ work. Suggestions are provided to address these privacy-related issues, including focusing on students’ products, not students’ names; informing students of the benefits they will receive and the contributions they will make by sharing their work publicly; and options for students to keep their identity private when they feel uncomfortable about sharing their work publicly.

摘要

这项研究探讨了在线学习环境中的学生隐私问题。小插图用于呈现在线学习环境中发生的各种隐私场景。该研究表明，由于在小组成员之间共享个人成绩并在博客中提供公众反馈，导致学生直接关注法律后果。其他隐私问题则以更加细微的方式发生，例如公开访问彼此的作品，透明的反思，公众意见，作业的批判性分析以及对学生作品的协作评估。为解决这些与隐私相关的问题提供了建议，包括针对学生的产品而不是学生的姓名；通过公开分享他们的工作，告知学生他们将获得的收益和做出的贡献；
