Digital Rights and Responsibilities

In this section I will be referring to the IIE http://www.varsitycollege.co.za/ and giving them guidelines to which they should adhere regarding students. 

Basic rights and responsibilities of students: 

• Equality
• Human dignity
• Life
• Freedom and security of a person
• Privacy
• Freedom of expression
• Education
• Language and culture
• Culture, relation, belief.

Digital Rights:

• Right to freedom of expression
• Right to privacy
• Right to credit for personal works
• Right to digital access
• Right to our identity 

Digital Responsibilities:

• Responsibility to report bullying, harassing, sexting, or identity theft
• Responsibility to cite works used for resources and researching
• Responsibility to download music, videos, and other material legally
• Responsibility to model and teach student expectations of technology use
• Responsibility to keep data/information safe from hackers
• Responsibility not to falsify our identity in any way

Penalty guidelines for non-compliance: the biggest penalty is that the law will get involved, rather do it right from the beginning and don't go off the rails.
