Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Technology Construct the Privacy Protection of College English Smart Classroom Teaching Mode

Abstract

This study explores the privacy protection issues in the smart classroom teaching mode for college English that integrates AR and VR technologies. The application of AR and VR technologies in college English teaching not only stimulates students' interest and enhances teaching effectiveness but also raises concerns about privacy protection. This paper analyzes the privacy issues in this mode and identifies students' personal information and learning behavior data as the main privacy data. The three major sources of privacy breaches are technological systems, cybersecurity, and third-party collaborations. Privacy leaks can have adverse effects on students' physical and mental development, academic progress, and teaching order and effectiveness. Privacy protection countermeasures are elaborated from both technical and management aspects. Technically, data encryption technologies, such as symmetric encryption technology AES and asymmetric encryption technology RSA, are employed to ensure data transmission and storage security. Multi-factor authentication technology and granular permission management technology are used for identity authentication and access control. In terms of management, privacy policies covering data collection, data usage, data storage, and data sharing rules are established to standardize the operational procedures for teachers and administrators at various levels in data management. The research findings of this paper provide theoretical and practical support for the healthy development of this type of smart classroom teaching mode. With the development of technology and educational informatization, there is significant room for growth and expansion in related privacy protection research.
