Abstract:

The monitoring of the daily individual work of each student is increasing, which has motivated the habitual and frequent use of online tools. The COVID19 pandemic and the face-to-face restrictions that this has entailed have forced an intense and widespread use of online teaching. It is usual, in universities, to have telematic tools for these purposes, in particular the University of Jaén (UJA) has tools of this type: Virtual Teaching (Ilias), Virtual University, ... In 2008 we began to develop our own online platform GATD (“Gestión y Administración Telemática Docente”, Telematics Management and Administration of Teaching) that brings together a set of tools for efficient and comfortable teaching management. All these tools need to be updated to the Spanish legal framework LOPD (Organic Law 3/2018, on Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights) and European GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which regulate the use and conflicts that may arise of the personal data that these tools use for their correct operation, to display relevant information in the classroom or on the web, or simply to identify their users. Situations of incompatibility with the new LOPD and the GDPR are common in class, for example, in the frequent online assessments and authorship control. Or even in face-to-face practices, if we want the students to verify their correct register in a class attendance list, if we use the UJA platforms, we used to project with the overhead projector a list of the attendant students, in which, it were showed: name, email and ID of all students, which is a clear breach of legality. Obviously, the solution is simple, we would only have to identify the students in such a way that sensitive data are not shown, for example, only by their initials. But we must remember that the study of incompatibilities and the subsequent correction, is a task that must be carried out on all platforms and in all areas: tutorials, grades, lists, attendances, ...; which supposes a lot of updates. Also, it must be added that, the generalized access from mobile devices, mainly telephones, which statistically already far exceeds all other devices by itself, forces that online tools must also be adapted to operating systems, browsers, the type of screens and interfaces that these devices use.
