Human Review Filtering Solution
ResNet and CalvinStudents are a service of Calvin Information Technology in collaboration with the Student Life Division.
ResNet and CalvinStudents at Calvin College have two main purposes. The first purpose is to support the academic mission of the college by providing convenient access to online academic resources. The second purpose is to provide convenient access to electronic communication and interaction with other students, faculty, friends and family members. These purposes intersect with the college's goal of encouraging a safe community environment that fosters respect for all individuals and encourages compliance with relevant state and federal laws.
Your Calvin Internet connection allows you to access almost all information available on the Internet. To encourage accountability when accessing off campus Web sites, students will need to identify themselves electronically before browsing the Web. There are also certain Web sites you will not access from these connections. Web sites dealing with hate speech and discrimination, murder/suicide, illegal activities, and pornography, for example, do not generally fit the purposes of ResNet and CalvinStudents. However, in the event that a course requirement would necessitate access to those areas, your professor will inform your class on how access will be provided. In addition, the Hekman Library computers have no access limitations.
We are always looking for ways to improve CIT's service to you. If you have any questions or comments please contact us at resnet@calvin.edu
N2H2 employs
a full time staff to compile its extensive database of inappropriate sites
with a 100% human review process. This process reduces frustrations associated
with "key-word blocking" methods including denied access to sites regarding
breast cancer, sex education, religion, and health. Human review is the
only way to ensure that appropriate sites are separated from the inappropriate
sites.
