Although the agile community frequently cites risk management, research suggests that risk is often narrowly defined and, at best, implicitly treated, which in turn leads to an inability to make informed decisions concerning risk and reward and a poor understanding of when to engage in risk-related activities. Moreover, the absence of reference to en...

Digital Identity Management in Formal Education offers a broad analysis of the online self considered from educational policy, technological, legal and social perspectives. This book introduces the reader to the notion that digital identity is a multifaceted topic which requires a broad and systematic approach that is rooted in risk-based policy. It provides educational technologists, leaders and decision-makers with an accessible, jargon-free guide to their responsibilities towards students and instructors in today’s digitally networked schools and universities.
