Digital Rights and Responsibilities
The AUPs let students, employees, parents, and customers know the rules and regulations when using Internet, technology or networks of that particular company, entity or school. All the laws and regulations protect the customer’s personal information, students, and employees. It also important to know that there is no privacy when using these networks therefore it is vital to follow the laws and regulations of that particular network.
To protect students such as restricted access, safety, security, and how to deal with unauthorized access are described in an AUP. In order to enforce safety used of digital learning communities, schools have created AUPs to make sure the users understand the limits for the use of technology, define the educational use of the Internet, and this helps to avoid legal issues.
A good plan a teacher can have to foster safety in the digital learning community is to always discuss these rules and regulations with students at the beginning of the course to avoid miscommunication of any kind, posters, fun activities, and presentations can be shown to educate students in the topic. Clear expectations will help students to be successful and it will show students that they will be provided with a safety environment for digital learning. In my classes, I also have information in my website which help parents to be involved in the process.
