On the question of “Whenit comes to children online, it should be up to parents, not teachers, to teach cybersafety, cyber bullying and cyber security,” all teachers except 4 agreed with the item.Also, on the item “My school/school district does an adequate job of preparing studentsregarding cyber ethics, online safety, and computer security issues,” only two peopleagreed.The results indicate that the only solution to teachers being able to promotecybersecurity topics in their schools is to get support from their schools whichaccording to the results is not available.

Thelarge private university in Colombia through its Center for Excellence in Teaching (CEDU) hasdeveloped a generic research protocol, approved by the university ethics committee, intended toguide researchers in the treatment and use of information coming from human subjects. At thesmall comprehensive university in the USA, a similar protocol exists and procedures for dealingwith human subjects and research involving them is clearly defined. At both institutions,students will be made aware about the research taking place and the treatment of the dataobtained from them

Students who wereviolating the ethical rules were informed and any post was immediately removed. We observedlittle student activity on the site during the first half of the semester. During this lightly usedtime, the class took two major exams. After the second major exam the students wereencouraged to use the platform by giving them a very minor grade incentive in the form of extracredit. This incentive caused some students to begin using the software very significantly.During this incentive period, the class was given another two major exams. Data
