6. Conclusion
Due to the unbounded dissemination of online data, many legislations concerning data protection have been passed. The phenomenon of coping with data protection legislation in the setting of e-learning has received comparatively less attention in the literature. The studies introduced in this literature review indicated that data protection issues are particular concerns in e-learning practices without mentioning how the instructors coped with these issues. Instructional designers lack the competence to address them. Such cases will be common occurrences when instructional designers innovatively integrate ICT into education. Experts of wearable technology in education suspected the related privacy issues (Bower & Sturman, 2015). Researchers indicated that data privacy should be incorporated into IT education to ensure that application designs comply with the international data protection legislative trends (Romney & Romney, 2004). We recommend that data protection be incorporated into learners' education as a basic literacy skill. Furthermore, pre-service and in-service teachers e and even instructional designers e should develop such literacy skills through formative education (Beycioglu, 2009).
