Copyright NoticeKWM entails the use of a communication model (Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-178636, Jahng 2016(Proceedings of the the 32nd annual conference of JSET) ) that allows all course participants to view, in part or in whole, content consisting of information that communicators wish to convey, of relevant materials submitted by students such as their notebooks, questions, and observations, and comments that communicators make in response to these.
The locus of ownership over the intellectual property accumulated through this interactive information provision represents a problem of great social urgency. Since similar problems are being faced not only with the online version of the KWM, but also by recent social media and networking services, we must await the creation of social regulations in the near future.
Although the KWM Web version has been equipped with a mechanism preventing the identification of individuals (i.e., personal name) when browsing and mechanisms for deleting personal information from the system when deleting an account, with regards to the aforementioned interactive information accumulation mechanism, we have elected to leave content intentionally posted by individuals to the system (though this can be flagged as private at the discretion of the senders). While we will continue to build systematic preventive measures more robustly in the future, we are very aware that the work of visualizing learning processes that make use of the KWM Web version is at this very moment accumulating in a variety of locations, and that it is unfeasible simply to wait for the development of new systems. Therefore, I have decided to request that everyone now using or considering the use of the KWM for “provisional consent until the establishment of a new social system.”
The substance of the consent that we are asking for includes:
To firmly refuse any unauthorized reproduction (including screen captures) of the information that is the common property of all KWM users,
In the event that such a situation arises, not to involve KWM in any social redress, but to deal with the problem between the parties responsible for the unauthorized reproduction, and
To enable the use of anonymized KWM information limited to research purposes and the development of better systems.
Please note that existing KWM participants who are unable to accept these conditions are asked to delete their KWM accounts. To those who plan to register as new users, especially those who belong to educational agencies unable to give their consent, we ask that you discuss the matter with the parties responsible for each course.
