“…Because of the presence of technology, privacy must be addressed from both technological and legal aspects (Le Métayer, ). On the technical part, there are already several proposals that take privacy into account while designing tools in a model that could be called privacy by design (Le Métayer, ; Spiekermann, ). Designers are encouraged to include privacy and security issues in the early stages of the design, so that the produced platforms are in a position to comply with the requirements derived from the environment in which they operate.…”

He is working on research projects exploring how technology can be used to understand and influence human behavior. He has experience in the use of digital devices in areas such as behavioral analytics, social networks, computer-supported collaboration, personalization and technology-enhanced learning. George Siemens is the Executive AbstractThe massive adoption of technology in learning processes comes with an equally large capacity to track learners. Learning analytics aims at using the collected information to understand and improve the quality of a learning experience. The privacy and ethical issues that emerge in this context are tightly interconnected with other aspects such as trust, accountability and transparency. In this paper, a set of principles is identified to narrow the scope of the discussion and point to pragmatic approaches to help design and research learning experiences where important ethical and privacy issues are considered. Introduction: privacy in learning environmentsThe use of information and communication technology has significantly changed how learning experiences are conceived and deployed. The widespread use of various digital devices together with cloud computing allows for learning scenarios not previously considered. Students are now able to access a myriad of learning resources, interact with applications focusing on a specific topic, enhance their experience in virtual environments, augment reality and connect with others through social networks. The progress of technology evolves together with the capacity to record the events occurring in a learning environment. Every interaction and resource accessed can be captured and stored. As a consequence, learning scenarios can now be analyzed using big-data analytics techniques. Although the use of new technology is shaping the way we learn, a more significant change may derive from the use of big-data analytics (Siemens & Long, 2011).

“…The reluctance of management engagement, poor attitudes towards privacy and data protection, lack of appropriate privacy languages and uncertain benefits of privacy management, are all factors that impact on privacy support in online information systems. PbD can also be a matter of political choice [11]. Additionally, information system design with PbD principles may need to support different legislation requirements.…”

Abstract. Privacy is an important component of freedom and plays a key role in protecting fundamental human rights. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the fact that without appropriate levels of privacy, a person's rights are diminished. Users want to protect their privacy -particularly in "privacy invasive" areas such as social networks. However, Social Network users seldom know how to protect their own privacy through online mechanisms. What is required is an emerging concept that provides users legitimate control over their own personal information, whilst preserving and maintaining the advantages of engaging with online services such as Social Networks. This paper reviews "Privacy by Design (PbD)" and shows how it applies to diverse privacy areas. Such an approach will move towards mitigating many of the privacy issues in online information systems and can be a potential pathway for protecting users' personal information. The research has also posed many questions in need of further investigation for different open source distributed Social Networks. Findings from this research will lead to a novel distributed architecture that provides more transparent and accountable privacy for the users of online information systems.

“…-Help designers to explore the design space and to reason about the possible choices. Indeed, privacy by design is often a matter of choice [36]: multiple options are generally available to achieve a given set of functionalities, some of them being privacy friendly, others less, and a major challenge for the designer is to understand all these options, their strengths and weaknesses. -Provide a documented and rigorous justification of the design choices, which would be a significant contribution to the accountability requirement.…”

Abstract. Existing work on privacy by design mostly focus on technologies rather than methodologies and on components rather than architectures. In this paper, we advocate the idea that privacy by design should also be addressed at the architectural level and be associated with suitable methodologies. Among other benefits, architectural descriptions enable a more systematic exploration of the design space. In addition, because privacy is intrinsically a complex notion that can be in tension with other requirements, we believe that formal methods should play a key role in this area. After presenting our position, we provide some hints on how our approach can turn into practice based on ongoing work on a privacy by design environment.
