[Air-L] Social media legal and privacy issues exercise

Thu Aug 9 07:21:38 PDT 2018

There have been some great suggestions on this thread!

I wanted to add that, if you’re willing to do some digging, here is a collection of tech ethics syllabi, many of which have assignments and exercises listed with their course materials, and law/privacy are pretty common topics:

We have students break into groups, find, and then read the privacy
policies on various platforms such as FB, Twitter, Reddit, etc. Part of the
fun is that they can be hard to find, which angers the students and then
makes them pretty critical :) They then grade the privacy policies with a
letter grade (which they enjoy, because they like getting to give someone
else a grade). It led to a really good discussion in class as each group
justified their 'grade'. This was a basic 'core' requirement class with a
wide range of abilities but what really amazed me was how fast they did it
-- it took them about 20 minutes to find, read, analyze, and grade the main
points of a privacy policy (just as a warning because I often underestimate
the analytical speed of the Millennial student ... ) Sarah

Hi,

I am looking for ideas on interactive in-class exercise on social media
legal and privacy issues for my undergrad students. Ideally, they should
work in small groups to carry out the exercise.  Any topic that fits within
the broader scope of regal and/or privacy issues related to social media
use/data will work. Normally, I would ask them to review a social media
platform's privacy policy and report back on how they use your data. But
this time I intend to do something different.

Any suggestions, please?

Cheers,
Khan
