This course is important because digital assets and data management are critical to the success of all businesses from NFPs to SMEs and enterprise level public and private organisations. Understanding the lifecycle of data, government and regulatory obligations, and security aspects of data governance is crucial. Decision-makers need access to the right data at the right times and in the right places but must also be aware of the cultural and ethical implication of collecting, disseminating, storing, and disposing of digital assets. In a world that revolves around data, issues surrounding the ownership and monetisation of digital assets are becoming prominent for individuals, communities, and organisations.

This course explores the regulatory, cultural, and ethical implications of collecting and managing digital assets and data. You will examine how digital assets are managed in organisations and the impact of unethical practices. You will discuss aspects of data ownership with a focus on FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Finally, you will reflect on a real-world example of unethical practice in digital asset management and work in a team to recommend responsible business practices that could be implemented.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. describe digital asset management, data management and data governance, including FAIR data principles;
2. investigate opportunities and challenges in data ownership, monetisation of data, and transnational data sharing to reflect on responsible decision making in organisations;
3. discuss the cultural sensitivities and ethical obligations associated with data management and storage;
4. collaborate in groups to analyse the ethical and cultural impacts of digital asset and data management to solve a real world problem.
