Or, in terms of the TCPS 2, directly quoting comments that are \u201cpublicly accessible\u201d with \u201cno reasonable expectation of privacy\u201d (e.g., blog comments, etc.). That\u2019s fine and well within exemption. However, some of you may deem it necessary to quote written comments your students make in the more private forums created for your innovations (e.g., Moodle).<\/li>\n<li>If you prefer not to paraphrase in these cases, it\u2019s good practice to request consent to quote.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"line-height: 1.7\">Age of Consent<\/strong>\n<ol>\n<li>It is not advisable to quote students under 14 years of age unless you have parental assent.
