Digital Ethics in Higher Learning Institutions

Abstract

This study examines the ethical considerations and challenges related to digital technology in higher learning institutions, with a focus on intellectual property rights, database management, and the use of digital technology in education. The literature review and bibliometric analysis reveal a growing body of research focused on these topics, indicating the increasing importance of digital ethics in higher education. The study highlights the need for higher learning institutions to take a proactive and systematic approach to addressing digital ethics, by implementing appropriate policies and procedures, providing education and training to students, faculty, and staff, and promoting a culture of responsible and ethical technology use. The study also provides recommendations for higher learning institutions to promote digital ethics, including the development and implementation of comprehensive policies and procedures, ongoing education and training, and the establishment of a culture of digital ethics.
