ABSTRACT

Course requirements involving submissions on publicly viewable websites have the potential to cross or violate privacy boundaries. Building on Petronio’s Communication Privacy Management Theory, I reflect on these challenges and the ways that I have found to give students choices and control over both their uses and personal information, and offer an example of such strategies through assignments I use in teaching concepts related to digital literacy, which I call “Online Activity Journals.”
