This week, we explored topics such as data privacy, user consent, and open copyright. By reading materials, videos, and online resources, I have gained new insights that openness does not mean unrestricted access, and true openness must be based on respect for privacy and informed consent.
One of my greatest gains is a deeper understanding of Creative Commons licenses. Previously, I was unclear about the copyright status of online materials. However, now I know that different CC licenses (such as BY, NC, SA) have different rules for commercial use, modification, and redistribution. Additionally, I learned how to select and label the appropriate license for my own blog or educational work. This emphasizes not only the importance of using open sources but also the importance of establishing correct copyright and attribution practices.

Furthermore, I also considered how privacy and consent could be applied to the digital learning environment. For example, when you collect or share personal information online, you must explain why you need it.. This process is both an ethical responsibility and a key digital literacy skill.
In brief, this week helped me understand that open education and privacy protection must go hand in hand. In the future, I will try to apply a CC license to my own blog and clearly attribute sources. while always obtaining informed consent when personal information is involved. Only by doing it this way can open education truly achieve fairness and sustainable development.
