EDUC 5207G - Law & Order (EDU): Legal, Ethics and Policy Issues in a Digital World


Who owns massive open online courses (MOOC) and lecture content developed by instructors? Can educators share published digital work with students? What happens when social media content is used against teachers, stripping them of their ability to teach? Who wins and who loses when Internet content is free to all? When students create Internet content, what are their rights and obligations? What happens when classroom activity is digitally recorded and shared with people outside a class? These are just a few of the contentious ethical, legal and policy issues that this course will address. Structured in a seminar format, students will participate in both identification of current and timely legal, ethical and policy issues related to digital technology, and lead seminars that unpack tensions between law/policy and ethics related to technology use in educational contexts.
Credit hours: 3
