These are the guidelines for the online and social network requirements taken from the ‘TAFE SA Student Responsibilities Document’ which all staff and students need to adhere to.
TAFE SA Online and Social Networking Guidelines
TAFE SA students can be held accountable for their online behaviour in the same manner as they are accountable for their on-campus or TAFE SA-related activity behaviour. In particular, it is an offence to harass, bully, defame or slander any member of the TAFE SA community. Students are also reminded that social networking sites and TAFE SA online learning environments have in place and conditions that discourage activity that could lead to defamation or incitement to hatred. As referenced in these services’ terms and conditions, students should refrain from posting material that is deemed to be criminal; harassing; racially, sexually, ethnically or religiously objectionable; defamatory; obscene; invasive of another’s privacy; or infringing on copyright. If activity on a social networking site or a TAFE SA online learning environment is reported as violating the TAFE SA Student Conduct and Disciplinary Policy, it will be investigated and addressed according to the TAFE SA disciplinary procedures. Given the ease with which student’s entries can be accessed and copied, the record of such misconduct can be used to provide evidence in any subsequent disciplinary action.
