Title
Building an Acceptable Use Policy
Abstract
Acceptable use policies (AUPs) aim to define how digital and technological tools and services (both devices and ICT services) should be used in or by education systems and actors. These policies address the rights, privileges, responsibilities, and ramifications associated with the use of technology in education spaces and for educational purposes. In doing so, AUPs attempt to promote good practice and responsible, safe use of the internet and digital technologies. This brief uses global examples of AUP policies and guidance on the development of AUPs to outline best practices and key considerations for the development of AUPs. Keywords: EdTech usage; acceptable use policy; tablets; laptops; desktop computers; EdTech hardware; EdTech software. An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org
