The course is structured into three parts and planned to take about a week of full-time study:

Background,
What Does it Mean to Design for "Privacy"?, and
Privacy and Data Protection Impact Assessments.

Roughly speaking, we expect the examination to take you a full day, one-two days per part for parts 2 and 3, and leave the remaining time for reflections and background. The background is short and is just to get you started. For parts 2 and 3, each part contains around five pages with recorded screen-casts, reading assignments, quizzes, and some interviews. All quizzes in this course are practice quizzes: they do not determine your grade and you can take them as many times as you want. They're there for you to check that you picked up on some essential parts we covered in the material. The mandatory reading assignments are accounted for to fit the length of the course. We also list optional reading, which is not accounted for and can take you a long time. Look at them as additional resources for you if you're interested.

Under each content page you typically find a practice quiz and the mandatory reading/watching linked directly in the course overview, see the picture below. In the picture, "Privacy and Data Protection" is the main content page, and below (slightly indented) you find a link to the mandatory reading ("Court of Justice...") followed by a quiz (note the different icons). This structure is to emphasis the mandatory reading, which is at times also linked in the content page.

We try to only use open access material but some recommended papers are unfortunately not freely available. While we list alternatives, if you're a student enrolled at Karlstad University you can use the library to access the non-free material. One easy way to do so is to pre-pend any URL to a paper with https://login.bibproxy.kau.se:8443/login?url=. This will attempt to use the libraries proxy to access the material. Please note that the library says that (in Swedish):

"OBSERVERA att det ofta inte fungerar att logga in till våra e-resurser från skolor, landsting eller andra arbetsplatser. Det beror ofta på att de har brandväggar eller inställningar som som blockerar bibliotekets e-resurser."

One way to get around this is to use Tor Browser with the proxy url above.
