Avenue Instructor Standards for TELL 02/05/24 version 15 Instructors generally have digital access to learners’ personal information through the learner registration and referral system in the workplace. Learners often sign up for various online accounts requiring them to submit personal and sensitive information. Learn about the privacy laws in Canada and your province. Provide multiple examples of how to protect sensitive information in your class. Explain how your learners’ personal information is protected by yourself as well as your workplace. As an example, explain that the class register has many identifiers such as full name, address, and date of birth and that you yourself always log off as soon as you are done with the roll call to protect learner data. Reflection: How familiar are you with your workplace copyright and privacy laws? How do they help protect your learners’ privacy? ☐ I understand the risks to learner privacy and take care to protect learner information online. ☐ I stay abreast of the relevant local, provincial, and federal regulations related to privacy and copyright and follow them. PI 4.5. Stay abreast of legal and ethical issues related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Generative AI poses legal issues in several areas, including copyright, libel, privacy, and plagiarism. Questions are being raised about who owns the data that informs AI results, and who owns the results themselves. AI results can be factually incorrect. When incorrect results impugn a person’s reputation and those results are shared, there is a risk of libel. Generative AI is based on large datasets of text. When learners enter text into a prompt, such as an essay for writing feedback, that text becomes part of the dataset. This is a privacy risk if learners are including private personal information. AI tools can create “deepfakes,” using a person’s likeness to create fake images and video. This is a serious legal and ethical issue if the deepfakes are shared. AI is very good at completing assignments such as reports and essays. Instructors and programs should have guidelines in place for ethical use of AI tools, including citing the use of AI when submitting assignments. As AI becomes increasingly incorporated into digital tools of all kinds, instructors should be aware of when and how they and their learners are interacting with AI. Reflection: How are you staying abreast of AI tools and their uses? How are you guiding learners in using AI appropriately and safely? ☐ I understand that generative AI is constantly evolving and expanding into more areas and apps and will continue to present new opportunities and risks. ☐ I pay attention to legal and ethical issues in AI that could affect me and my learners, such as privacy, false information and images, and easy generation of essays, reports, and images. ☐ I provide clear guidelines to learners about how they should and should not use AI in class work. ☐ I incorporate artificial intelligence as a topic in my planning to address its safe use and copyright and privacy issues.
