Book Now Available: Privacy and Safety in Online Learning

2023-03-16

This collection features essays, case studies, and pedagogical approaches that explore how educators managed the privacy, security, and safety concerns that rushed into our lives as we shifted into emergency remote learning in 2020. While the COVID-19 pandemic brought this concern into focus, privacy issues with online learning continue to exist alongside us and our students.

This book provides readers insight into the current state of privacy issues, describes the challenges and rewards of developing more privacy-focused learning environments, and presents several resources and tools that readers can bring to their own teaching practices.

Representing a variety of perspectives from K-12, higher education, and libraries, contributors describe the challenges they encountered and offer solutions to help ensure the safekeeping of students’ online lives. How do we navigate these online environments, who collects our data, and how can we protect our most vulnerable populations?

MT Open Press is a new open publishing concept. We invite you to learn more.

DSI at Walker Library has extended its publishing services to include open textbooks and scholarly monographs. Open Press is a digital-first, hybrid press with a mission of providing open access publishing opportunities to the communities of middle Tennessee.

Readers can enjoy our books--free to read online, while offering some titles with a modest print-on-demand option for those that prefer a printed book.

Authors can enjoy a transparent publishing process, with editorial teams that take a values-based approach to publishing. This means authors retain the rights to their work and are not charged for publishing services.

Open Press has a different mission and focus than traditional publishers, and invites you to learn more about publishing possiblities. We also welcome support from the community, and invite you to donate, helping to enable open access publishing of books for the community.
