Data Collecting and Ethics How will you obtain enough trust of participants to allow you to capture, use and publish their interaction data?

Data Collecting and Ethics Some ideas and concerns 1.Make participants aware that data is collected. 2.Inform participants about what is collected and what it means (or what kind of measures you want to derive from it). 3.Give participants the possibility to see what data has been collected about them. 4.Why are you collecting the data, what are your intentions? 5.Be specific in your explanation, however also give a short explanation in layman’s terms. 6.Give participants a summary, not only a long list.

Data Collecting and Ethics 7.Include an opt-out procedure/function for specific types of data collection (for example event-click, pictures, screen dumps) 8.Opting-out afterwards means data will be removed (and possibility to remove data from publications) 9.A national Ethical logging organisation that reviews research proposals (quality assurance), and they can give researchers their stamp of approval, which they can publish. 10.Data collection of vulnerable people (e.g. children) need consent guardians.

Data Collecting and Ethics Some ideas and concerns 11. A trustworthy organisation which brings researchers and potential participants together (database with participants, which only can be accessed once researchers and research has been screened). 12.Ethical Management System for managing consent given (begin of experiment and after experiment).
