 * What can we share online? Who owns the material? How safe are we when sharing online? **toc


 * Introduction: ** Increasingly, we are all becoming creators, publishers and authors online. More and more schools share their stories in this public forum. But what does this mean for teachers and students? How much should we share of ourselves online? When is it too much information? What about permissions? And what are some of the other issues associated with sharing online?

Ministry guidelines
The Ministry of Education has [|'Guidelines for Schools for the Online Publication of Student Images and Schoolwork'] that deal with some of the ethical issues below. All schools should be familiar with these guidelines before publishing student material online.

= Ethical issues =

The following discussions have been raised by Dorothy and Russell Burt and were originally posted in Suzie Vesper's Learning Web 2.0 wiki. The responses in this link are from one school's perspective - Point England. The following tasks invite you to share what course of action your school has taken to address some of these issues.

Ethical issue - Ownership of student content online
 **Ministry of Education guidelines: ( **see the link above for the full document)  The need to consider the Copyright Act 1994 Schools often wish to publish on the Internet original material that students create at school, including artwork and text material such as stories, poems, and other literary work. Material such as this, created by students, attracts protection as copyright works under the Copyright Act 1994. The students each own the copyright in their own artistic and literary works. Schools do not own the copyright in students' schoolwork unless it is legally transferred to the school. Schools cannot publish these works on the Internet without authorisation in the form of a copyright licence from the students. Otherwise, schools are infringing the copyright in that material.
 * Introduction: **Ethical issue - Ownership. Teachers often put student created material online. Are they aware of the long-term ramifications of this as discussed in  Learning Web 2.0 wiki?

A school may publish a student's work on its website if the student grants the school a licence to do so. A non-exclusive licence would be sufficient for this purpose. The licence may be oral or in writing. The Ministry considers it preferable for all such licences to be in writing. The copyright licence could be incorporated into the same authorisation form that is used to obtain authorisation under the Privacy Act for the use of personal information about the student on the school's website.

**Protection of student Intellectual Property** While some rights are guaranteed automatically by copyright law, schools may wish to explore other options such as patenting ideas for students to protect their work if it is considered that the work may have some commercial value. An example of this would be when a student creates something original within a secondary technology classroom.
