You might ask – “What has data handling got to do with e-learning?” – fair question. But I think it is very relevant particularly if you use a learning platform.
Becta has just produced its updated guidance. Go to http://schools.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=lv&catcode=ss_lv_mis_im03&rid=14734 for the Becta web site page with all the details. There are links to various pieces of information including a link to the Information Strategy Framework which is now available.
Becta says
“Information Security is everyone’s responsibility and needs to be embedded into culture and ways of working, therefore, we encourage you to contribute to discuss data handling and information security and to feedback on these guides by joining our online community.”
I’m going to be studying this information carefully to see how it might effect the use of learning platforms and Moodle in particular so watch this space!
