In response to rising concerns about digital ethics in ePortfolio practice, AAEEBL created a Digital Ethics Task Force charged with researching and articulating research-based practices for ePortfolios. The Task Force is a standing committee that accepts new participants in July of each year. Visit the most current version of our work, Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 2, for guidance and support on implementing ePortfolios with digital ethics at the forefront of this work.

During its first year, the Task Force developed Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 1, which supports ePortfolio decision-making and practices across different locations and contexts, enabling important principles, strategies, scenarios, and additional resources to be accessed both interactively and in text formats. In year two, the Task Force revised the Principles document, with added attention to how digital ethical literacy intersects with the mass transition to online learning due to COVID-19. In addition to the recursive revision of the primary Principles document, the Task Force works to contribute to the scholarship on digital ethics through publications, conference attendance, and other professional networking opportunities.
