  • 1.  Creating a pseudonymous identity using information from Campus Solutions

    Posted 07-08-2014 12:45 AM
    Hi

    Perhaps some of you can help us in how we might address the issue of a student requesting to use a pseudonym (as allowed under the Australian Privacy Principles) in a Learning Management System discussion forum that is deriving a first name and last name identification from Campus Solutions for students who are happy for their details to be displayed. We are searching for a solution that would allow us to continue to allow first and last name to be displayed for those who are agreable while allowing those who request it to use a pseudonym to do so.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi Janet – You could create a new “name type” (e.g. PSN=Pseudonym) and a new name usage order that returns the pseudonym if it exists, otherwise PRI or PRF, depending on how you set up the name usage table.

    We did a similar thing where we created a new “Degree” name type (DEG), primarily for use for students from countries where their family/given name order is reversed, so that the name printed on their graduation parchment is correct.

    Example “name usage” table setup: This can then be used to return a “Degree” name if it exists, otherwise it uses the “Primary” name.

    [cid:image001.png@01CF9B5F.504B8A40]
    Example SQL:

    SELECT A.EMPLID,
    A.FIRST_NAME,
    A.LAST_NAME,
    A.NAME,
    B.NAME_USAGE,
    B.NAME_TYPE,
    B.NAME_USAGE_ORDER
    FROM PS_NAMES A,
    PS_NAME_ORDER_TBL B
    WHERE A.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(A2.EFFDT)
    FROM PS_NAMES A2
    WHERE A2.EMPLID = A.EMPLID
    AND A2.NAME_TYPE = A.NAME_TYPE
    AND A2.EFFDT <= SYSDATE)
    AND A.EFF_STATUS = 'A'
    AND A.EMPLID = ‘123456789’
    AND B.NAME_TYPE = A.NAME_TYPE
    AND B.NAME_USAGE = 'NAME USG 4'
    AND B.NAME_USAGE_ORDER = (SELECT MIN(D.NAME_USAGE_ORDER)
    FROM PS_NAMES C,
    PS_NAME_ORDER_TBL D
    WHERE D.NAME_USAGE = B.NAME_USAGE
    AND C.NAME_TYPE = D.NAME_TYPE
    AND C.EMPLID = A.EMPLID
    AND C.EFFDT = A.EFFDT);
