Similar headlines have appeared in recent years with increasing frequency reflecting the rise in use of mobile devices.

Legal issues to be covered:

  • Privacy and Security- do learners have the right to opt-out? How can location data be used lawfully? What level of privacy must be ensured?
  • Identity management and authenticity - how can these work legally?
  • Accessibility – what are the legal obligations?
  • e-Safety and young learners - what are the institutions duties?
  • Loss of information – a real issue for learner or research work?
  • Liability - how can acceptable use by defined?  How must the institution deal with unacceptable behaviour?
  • Copyright - what are the consequences of allowing off-site access to e-resources?
