As virtual worlds and social networks move into the mainstream, educators and educational institutions are adopting social networking and virtual world technologies for use in the educational context.  When these technologies are deployed in the educational context, they often involve instant communication between users, substantial deployment of user-created content, and retention of highly sensitive student data. Legal issues associated with virtual worlds and social networks serve as a microcosm for examining the issues facing educational institutions related to the privacy and security of personal information.

Join Pillsbury's Privacy Briefing Series as we cover issues associated with intellectual property rights and privacy and data security as they relate to student and staff use of virtual worlds and social networking services and other current developments in privacy and data security laws affecting educational institutions.
