Ethical issues and approach in e-learning

Digital education brings many advantages such as flexibility, accessibility and innovative approaches to learning, but at the same time it raises a number of ethical questions. When students and teachers move to online environments, new responsibilities arise in terms of data protection, privacy and academic integrity. E-learning is not only a technical process of knowledge transfer, but also a space in which values, trust and professional culture are built. Of course, ethical problems such as copying also exist in contact teaching and are not new, but some of the solutions that e-learning offers us can help to some extent to combat such behavior.

It is therefore important to think about how data is collected, who has access to it and how it is used, as well as how to design tasks that encourage originality and responsibility. This text considers key aspects of ethics in e-learning, offering examples of good and bad practice and guidelines for creating a fair and safe digital learning environment.
