Maintaining Student Privacy in Distance Education
Keep in mind FERPA regulations in an online teaching environment, where personally identifiable information must be protected. With email and all online communications, it is important to evaluate the risk associated with sending student information and recognizing if it is personally identifiable information. Evaluating online educational services also requires sensitivity to privacy issues. See a recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Education and the many other resources that it points to at U.S. Department of Education Guide to Student Privacy in Distance Education.
