This course is aimed at giving adult educators a good appreciation of legal issues that may arise from the use of digital technology, AI and augmented or virtual reality platforms such as the metaverse. Participants will develop an understanding of key legal issues to watch out for and consider how they may apply in the course of their work.
This session will be conducted face-to-face at IAL. More details on participating in the session will be send to the confirmed registrants.
What Is The Session About?
This course will be delivered through a combination of presentations by the facilitator, case studies, practical exercises, and discussions. In brief, each topic will have an opening presentation followed by group or class discussion of a case study. This will be followed by an individual practical exercise for participants to consider how the topic may affect them (or their organisation) and develop a personalised legal risk assessment plan. There will be a concluding discussion at the end for participants to share their views and obtain feedback on practical steps they can take to address their legal risks.
This course will be delivered by David N. Alfed, an experienced legal practitioner who specialises in data and technology law including areas such as data protection, cybersecurity, AI and digital trust. It aims to provide participants with practical skills and knowledge to manage legal risks that may be encountered by adult educators in relation to established digital technology platforms, new technologies that are being applied today and future technologies that would likely impact the adult educator sector. This includes being able to identify legal risks that may impact them personally and applying strategies to address or mitigate such risks.
Participants will be required to demonstrate their understanding, application and analysis of legal issues that may affect them in the course of their work as adult educators by developing a personalised legal risk assessment plan that identifies at least 4 specific legal risks that may affect them and list 1 to 2 strategies or practices they can adopt to address or mitigate each of them.
