AU course on data protection (GDPR) is an online course for students on data protection with a special focus on GDPR. Teaching staff can use the course as a resource in their teaching, e.g. as an out-of-class activity or as an integrated element in-class.
The course (GDPR) is a part of AU's digital strategy and aims at promoting all students' digital competencies through knowledge of data protection and instruction in how the students can navigate their way through their study programmes in a data responsible manner.
The course introduces students to the rules for the protection of personal data and the general guidelines for data protection at Aarhus University.
The course is a module-based online course, with four basic modules: Ethics and Digitization, GDPR, Data Processing and Security and Equipment at AU. The modules consist of reading material, illustrations, short films, activities and quizzes.
Once all the basic modules have been completed, there is a final quiz, which tests the student's knowledge. If at least 80% correct answers are obtained, the student can generate a certificate showing that the course has been completed satisfactorily.
The course has been designed at the Centre for Educational Development at Aarhus University (CED) in collaboration with representatives from AU's faculties, AU Student Administration and Services and AU's Data Protection Unit.
