Legal Implications
“Basically for colleges and universities
the data protection and other legal
issues remain the same for an
institution when using blogs, wiki's,
podcasts etc as for other media.”
“It is up to universities and colleges to
manage the risk as they have to do
with other means of communication.
Therefore for example Data Protection,
AUPs, Copyright Policies, Staff
contracts/policies/handbooks etc all
have to be updated to ensure that it is
understood that these 'new' media are
included.”Source: JISC Legal
