“Things that can go wrong” (again)

This time around I combined the “must do” topics – Health & Safety, Internet Security, and Copyright into one session dubbed “What can go wrong”.

Again I was surprised by how much they already knew on this topic.  Of course the security of personal information has been very much in the news lately with various governmental blunders with data security, including Child Benefit payments, and the DVLA.

Since I recently had to field a polite and sympathetic, but very firm request from an external organisation to remove their copyrighted material from learner’s blog, we also spent a good amount of time discussing copyright issues.

There were a few misunderstanding to clear up here, but nothing too unexpected.  Hopefully this time it will sink in and there will be less wholesale copy and pasting.  I will certainly be keeping a close eye on it.
