Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

As information and communication technologies advance and everybody can be connected to everybody else and everything all the time, we must ensure what location privacy implies within information privacy. In this course, we focus on location privacy (geoprivacy), because information about an individual’s location is substantially different from other kinds of personally identifiable information. Privacy can be defined as the positive right of individuals to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent location information about them is communicated to others. During the course, we examine the process of transforming volunteered and observed information into inferred information, possibilities to control it, and we review examples of privacy-safeguarding strategies. It is important to understand protection as a facilitator to data openness and discuss the spectrum between information closure and disclosure.

Content
Introduction to location privacy, opinion and perception, regulatory frameworks, guidelines, information disclosure, re-identification & inference attacks, data anonymization, location protection methods, geomasking, geo-tracking apps, and geoethics.

Methods
The course follows a student-centred design educational principle. It entails a mixture of lectures and tutorials given by the lecturer as well as group-based active learning approaches; which contribute to the learning as well as the assessment of it. Additionally, students take a leading role by preparing and disseminating knowledge within the class.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

There are four testing elements. The first (T1) is an assignment on one examination topic and it is assessed via an oral presentation. The second and third tests (T2 and T3) are group and game-based activities are that initiated with self-study, activated in class, and finalized through a written report. The last test (T4) is a review that involves active participation (discussion, feedback, questions) during oral presentations.

• Any ancillary material can be used in the preparation or presentation of the tests.

The weights of each test element are:

- Assignment 65% (T1)
- Group activity & report A 10% (T2)
- Group activity & report B 10% (T3)
- Review 15 % (T4)

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

--> Attendance is compulsory on all test dates and for all.
--> All tests are obligatory to pass the course.

- T1 is assessed via the presentation file and the live presentation in class.
- T2 & T3 are assessed in class and via a written report.
- T4 is assessed in class.
- For T2, T3, and T4 a conditional mark is given for the completion of the test.
