The problem
Schools collect more student data than ever — academic records, behavior, attendance, performance — and ransomware attacks against the education sector rose 388% between the second and third quarters of 2020. A third of undergraduates report concern that technology advances are invading their privacy. Most of the educators handling that data have had no training in protecting it.
What I built
A nine-page asynchronous whiteboard presentation explaining what student data privacy requires and what happens when it fails.
It opens with FERPA and what the law actually obligates institutions to do, then grounds the stakes in a real incident: the 2021 University of Minnesota breach, where an intruder reached student financial aid applications containing family income, Social Security numbers, and contact information for students and parents.
It closes with an eight-part framework institutions can act on — data transparency, parent and student consent, retention policies, stakeholder education, encryption, privacy by design, data minimization, and third-party assessments.
The 5E model structures the sequence, and Mayer's multimedia principles governed the layout: one idea per page, carried by image and short text rather than dense blocks.
