consent
Professor Derek McAuley (University of Nottingham) talks about Rethinking informed consent.

Emerging information and communications technologies enable individuals and communities to collect and share granular, accurate, and sometimes personal data about their lives and environments, raising numerous challenges for socially responsible innovation. To encourage socially responsible data collection, ICT designers must incorporate discussions of ethics, values, and social responsibilities into their design process.
This FRRIICT case study surveyed ‘case studies’ from previous projects and project managers in the Managing Research Data (MRD) and Open Educational Resources (OER) programmes to identify and showcase examples of where ethical procedures for consenting research subjects and participants in teaching materials had ‘gone out of date’, and to look into the future to try to envisage how current consent practices might keep pace with technological change.
