The Guide to Interactive App Selection (GIAS) is a resource created at the Teaching and Learning Commons to support faculty in making decisions about choosing applications that are privacy compliant and minimize the risk of information sharing for students, staff and faculty. GIAS has been created to help you make these decisions and recognize areas of potential risk.
Please watch the GIAS introductory video.
Key Takeaways:
- What information is required to sign up?
- Do students need to enter personal information to use the tool?
- Is the data stored outside of Canada?
- Are you downloading from the original app source?
- Google the security risks of the app you are using. Is the app privacy compliant and minimize the risks of information sharing for you and your students?
