The rapid evolution of online learning is causing a significant shift in education. And as educational institutions, online platforms, and educators adjust to this new virtual reality, they face various challenges, particularly in the legal domain. Understanding and taking care of these issues is crucial to the successful development and operation of online learning. One of the most pressing legal challenges in online learning revolves around data privacy and security. Online learning platforms collect large amounts of student data, including personal information, academic records, and behavioral data. Legal obligations dictate that this information must be handled carefully to protect student privacy and prevent data breaches.
