Educloud

Why?

Educloud is a research platform developed by the University of Oslo that:

• Allows you to store special categories of personal data in accordance with privacy regulations.
• Makes your data accessible to both you and your supervisor.
• Can be integrated with other tools such as Nettskjema (for data collection) and Autotekst (for automatic transcription).

What is needed?

If you meet the following requirements, you can gain access to Educloud:

• You are collecting special categories of personal data in your master's project, or other data classified as red with a need for secure data storage.
• Your project has been assessed and approved by your supervisor and Sikt.
• Your project has been pre-approved by the Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK), if applicable.

You must first request access to Educloud. The library will send you a confirmation via email once access has been established. The confirmation also includes important information about your Educloud project, such as the name of the project.

Once you have received the confirmation, follow the instructions below to start using Educloud.

Nettskjema can be used to collect survey responses, and together with the Nettskjema dictaphone app, you can record interviews. The data you collect using Nettskjema can be sent to Educloud for secure storage.
