''This pathfinder has been created by a medical librarian.

While I strive to keep all content current and correct, I make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability of information, products, services, or related graphics contained on any of the websites listed. Only qualified health providers can provide health care e.g., they will take your health history, examine you, and bring their expertise and experience to bear on evaluating you.

== '''STRUCTURE OF THIS PAGE''' ==
This pathfinder is completely open though some of the resources require a university subscription.

It is structured in three sections and '''updated every two (2) days:'''
# '''Part I is for consumers: protect yourself (next section)'''
# [https://wiki.ubc.ca/Coronavirus_Disease_2019_(COVID-19)—For_Beginners_to_Experts#PART_II_FOR_RESEARCHERS:_.E2.80.9CEvidence-Based.E2.80.9D_Studies.2C_Reports.2C_Updates '''Part II is for experts such as researchers & clinicians'''].
# '''http://www.library.ubc.ca/graphic/new2.gif''' '''[[Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)—For Beginners to Experts#PART III FOR MEDICAL LIBRARIANS|Part III for medical librarians]].''' 
Reliable, evidence-based '''COVID-19''' information is urgently needed by patients and health professionals around the world.

== '''PART I FOR CONSUMERS: WHAT YOU CAN DO''' ==
* '''''Stay informed.'''''
* '''''Practice social distancing: AT ALL TIMES stay two metres or six (6) feet apart in public.'''''
* '''''Use a mask & gloves: many people are now wearing masks in public, and some are wearing gloves. Still, wash your hands.'''''
* '''''[[File:Screen Shot 2020-03-07 at 10.43.20 PM.png|25px]]''''' '''''In Canada, masks are now recommended when adjacent to others in public spaces.'''''
* '''''Quarantine period: 14 days if you have been exposed to others with COVID-19. (Testing is recommended if you have been exposed.)'''''
* '''''Disinfect: Wash your hands with soap & hot water''''' '''''thoroughly (and often) for 20 seconds after touching objects outside the home.'''''

==Course Context==
The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) in BC<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bclaws.ca/Recon/document/ID/freeside/96165_00|title=Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref> requires that all information about our students remain in Canada to protect their privacy and identities. As educators, we may choose to use applications or tools that are hosted outside of Canada. We must be mindful that students' online activities may affect their personal and professional lives. We '''cannot require''' our students to use their personal accounts on non-Canadian-hosted services to meet the academic requirements of the course. Many tools and platforms, however have options for users to remain anonymous by the use of an alias. The Office of the University Counsel<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://universitycounsel.ubc.ca/files/2015/05/Fact-Sheet-Disclosure-Outside-Canada.pdf|title=Privacy Fact Sheet at UBC|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref> indicates that if use of the tool is required for a course, instructors need to seek consent from students and students must be given an option to use an alias.

{{ambox|type=content|image=[[Image:Help-icon.png|40px]]|text=<div>
The key questions to consider when thinking about incorporating cloud-based services into the learning environment are:
* What are your learning goals?
* Is there a UBC supported tool that support your learning goals? Talk to [https://lthub.ubc.ca/support/instructional-units/ your instructional support unit] or [https://lthub.ubc.ca/support/lt-hub/ the Learning Technology Hub] about supported alternatives to the service (UBC hosted or current integration).
* What will the service/application allow you to do that you couldn't do before?
* What are the benefits/risks to you and your students?
* How will you inform your students, offer resources, and offer alternate options so they can consider their choices?
* How will you ensure they have an option to complete the coursework if they choose NOT to share their personal information with the non-Canadian-hosted service in question?
</div>}}

==Informing Students==

At UBC, learning technologies hosted outside Canada may be used under the following conditions:
* in the course description, or in a written communication to the students, describe the non-Canadian-hosted service and the information that it will be storing or accessing
* if the students choose not to provide their consent to this storage or access, they must contact the instructor to make alternate arrangements
* make alternate arrangements for students who prefer not to provide their consent, such as allowing them to sign in to the service using a false name and non-identifying email address

You may also choose to link to resources for students that can help them make an informed decision about their digital presence.

''SAMPLE COMMUNICATION TO STUDENTS:''

''In this course, students will be using (specify tool or platform), which is (specify what the tool is). This tool will help us (specify how students will be using the tool). During the account creation process, you will be required to provide your name and other identifying information. This tool is hosted on servers in (specify where). By using this service, you are consenting to storage of your information in (the location). If you choose not to provide your consent, see the instructor for alternate arrangements.''

===Resources for Students===
In addition to protecting students' privacy, as educators, we are also responsible to role modeling and showing our students how we make decisions about our online activities. The [http://digitaltattoo.ubc.ca/ Digital Tattoo Project] highlights resources developed by students to help their peers make decisions about their online participation and identity formation:

* [http://digitaltattoo.ubc.ca/learn/networks-for-learning/ Networks for Learning]

==Documenting Practice==
An important aspect of ensuring that we are complying with FIPPA as we move to leverage a non-Canadian-hosted tool in our class is the need to document our attempts to ensure that all students are informed of the use of the tool, the reason for its use and the option to obfuscate their identity (through the use of an alias) or participate in another way, as required. These attempts may include:
* a copy of or link to our course description and syllabus, specifying the tool or platform to be used, potential learning benefits and where information is stored
* a copy or link to any other information provided to students about the use of the tool or platform
* for students using aliases, our list of their accounts and aliases

In the event a student complaint about a breach of privacy, these documents will be important to demonstrate that we have taken reasonable steps to comply with our obligations under FIPPA.

Note on the use of an alias: Instructors will need to read the terms of service for the tool we are thinking of using. Some services do not allow the use of aliases and will specify this in the terms/user agreements. In this case, we may want to explore other options for hosted UBC applications or pursue a [https://privacymatters.ubc.ca/pia Privacy Impact Assessment]. At UBC, instructors can begin this consultation with the [https://lthub.ubc.ca/ Learning Technology Hub].
