The aim of this study is to assess students’ ethical attitudes towards social networks (SNs) in order to identify ethical norms and principles, which should be implemented in universities. A self-reported survey was conducted on 583 Bachelor and Master students majoring in different domains in a Romanian university. The results revealed that students in higher education express an overall positive attitude towards the ethical use of SNs, taking seriously various ethical concerns such as the use of appropriate language, the selection of the content they share, and copywriting. Students also expressed a positive attitude towards the use of emoticons in their SNs communications. Significant differences were detected between different groups of students according to their gender, age, and specialization. The model of ethical attitudes provides a new perspective on how students and teachers know and respect the rules of using social networks in the academic environment.

The purpose of this article is to analyse teaching practices on social networks. Based on observations of Facebook pages and interviews conducted between 2010 and 2018, the following two elements emerged: on the one hand, the partial or total abandonment of Facebook by some teachers and, on the other hand, the effect of “surfing” that can be observed among other teachers. Moreover, on Facebook, the teacher imagines that the fact of externalizing certain elements of his intimate life on social networks will allow him to better interiorize them through the comments of other users. However, does the social network Facebook allow it? How does the teacher feel when there is an an eye glancing without any feedback (no comments)? In addition, what is the impact of an aconflictual climate on the construction of the identity of the teacher? Can the teacher feel like an “ephemeral hero”?
