After reading this article, I found that the article concludes with three important topics to consider in ethics and policy discussions. and ownership of information. The privacy of this software is also discussed. With the development of the education system and the development of the network, the importance of privacy in reality is indeed very important. These problems are easily ignored in life due to the improvement of the education system. The article also identifies six distinct ethical issues: information privacy; anonymity; surveillance; autonomy; non-discrimination; and ownership of information. I understand that in the improvement of the system, we should also pay attention to the protection of our privacy and the management of system information, so that the protection of everyone’s privacy is also a drawback of the improvement of the education system. Online learning can also guarantee that face-to-face learning cannot be guaranteed due to the current epidemic, and it is also a benefit of the entire software. Convenience is also provided. I disagree with the statement of the article. I think schools can no longer expose students’ private names, including their date of birth, without their consent. Students’ privacy should be protected, and the ownership of information should ultimately rest with the users themselves. This also guarantees student security and ownership of information. But I agree that it is legal to collect information on students. The education system can collect information on everyone to know more about students.

Thank you for your posting. I agree with you that schools collect information about their students, but I don’t agree that it is unsafe for students to have their information made public. Also I can understand that in some cases it is not the school that has voluntarily released the information, but rather it has been stolen.
