How do you handle privacy in CBOX OpenLab?

While CBOX OpenLab is designed to encourage openness and sharing, it also provides robust privacy settings that enable members to control what they share and with whom:

  • Members can choose how they identify themselves publicly via their username and display name, which may be pseudonymous (while the site requests an email address during sign-up, this is only made available to administrators). This ability for members to choose how they self-identify in public spaces is essential for privacy, security, and many other reasons.
  • Members can choose how much or how little information about themselves they wish to share on their profile.
  • Groups can be public, private, or hidden, and the sites associated with groups can have a range of privacy settings from fully public to completely inaccessible.
  • The privacy settings for groups and their associated sites can be different – for instance, a class can hold private discussions via the group home page but share their work publicly via the site.
  • Individual posts and pages on group sites can be public, password-protected, or private; site administrators can also enable the WP Grade Comments plugin, which enables grades and associated comments to be shared privately.

CBOX has its roots in the CUNY Academic Commons, which in turn was made possible through funding from The City University of New York itself.

The Commons In A Box was made possible through the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The CUNY Graduate Center has directly contributed to the CUNY Academic Commons, housing the project since its inception, and has contributed to CBOX through its GC Digital Initiatives.
