WWW Bill of Rights
Dariel Hampton
PREAMBLE
In order to protect the rights and recognize the responsibilities of individuals and
institutions, we, the members of the educational community, propose this Bill of Rights
and Responsibilities for the Electronic Community of Learners. These principles are
based on a recognition that the electronic community is a complex subsystem of the
educational community founded on the values espoused by that community. As new
technology modifies the system and further empowers individuals, new values and
responsibilities will change this culture. As technology assumes an integral role in
education and lifelong learning, technological empowerment of individuals and
organizations becomes a requirement and right for students, faculty, staff, and
institutions, bringing with it new levels of responsibility that individuals and institutions
have to themselves and to other members of the educational community.
