Examples of good and bad practice

1. Introduction

The development of e-learning has brought new opportunities for flexibility, accessibility and innovation in education. However, with these changes came ethical dilemmas that require reflection and responsible decisions. Digital environments raise questions about the limits of privacy, the proportionality of surveillance, and how pedagogical models are transferred to the online space.

Unethical practices, such as excessive use of surveillance technology, unwittingly violating student privacy, or mechanically replicating traditional teaching into a virtual environment, can lead to a loss of trust, reduced motivation, and impaired quality of the educational experience.

Here we will present some examples of good and bad practices in resolving these dilemmas and offer guidelines on how to avoid or mitigate them, with an emphasis on the ethical principles of fairness, inclusiveness, and accountability.
