ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has affected human life since its advent. And to counteract its spread, humankind adopts social distancing, which encourages remote working for employees, and online learning for students. Many universities and schools quickly adopted e-learning solutions without much consideration of security, while it is important to consider users' privacy. Unfortunately, digital learning spaces face security vulnerabilities, risks and threats and are not spared from cyber-attacks. To ensure the security and privacy of e-learning solutions used by universities and schools, we analyzed how MOOCs and Organizations offering online courses long before COVID-19 deal with their users' privacy and personal data. In this study, we considered some popular platforms from The United States (Coursera, EdX, Udemy), Europe and the United Kingdom (FutureLearn, FUN MOOC, EduOpen), and Asia (XuetangX, SWAYAM, and K-MOOC). We discussed the personal data collected by these platforms, the purposes for which these data are collected, the different legislation for processing and storing data, and how the platforms ensure user privacy. © 2022 IEEE.
