#BCNET
What's off? It's an undated exhibit from the Master Registration Agreement between Turnitin and BCNET. The footer says "all Srvcs v1.1" which seems like it could include other technologies.

I think that is a BCNET membership list. If Turnitin is in use at TRU I am not aware of it. I occasionally hear vague rumours of individual faculty using it, but never gotten confirmation. We tell faculty it is not supported and would likely not pass our own PIA.

The entire BC public post-secondary sector relies on this PIA. BCNET provides Turnitin as a shared service and oversees the master provincial contract (which I have). My FOI confirmed that BCNET did not notify institutions of Turnitin's proposed EULA changes before they were to go into effect.

Huge milestone day for the Canadian Privacy Library, which now hosts 504 Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) from 18 of 25 BC public post-secondary institutions, BCNET, and the Province of British Columbia.

It's been a long road, but eventually every institution will be listed.

The Canadian Privacy Library now contains 429 Privacy Impact Assessments from 16 of 25 British Columbia public post-secondary institutions, BCNET, and the Province of British Columbia.

PIAs protect privacy and keep people safe. I am working to make them open.

Not *exactly* but among other things, I was on the team that built the BCNET backbone, built the worlds first ATM broadband network, built the ADSL network across BC to provide highspeed consumer internet options.

Point is, don't paint all boomers as dumb fucks.
