I’m planning on using the Keywords Collaboratory. What should I put on my syllabus to inform students about the public nature of this type of work?
Because every institution has its own protocol regarding publication of student work, a kind of informed consent typically managed by a Human Subjects Review Board, we encourage you to foreground on your syllabus that the medium of this work effectively makes student writing available to a wide online public. Stress that their participation in the collaboratory signals their consent to this public forum. This implicit informed consent should meet the standards in place at most colleges and universities, though we advise you to look into what your particular institution requires.
