Abstract
On-line education is a form of distance education” [8] and is usually defined as “An educational system in which the learner is autonomous and separated from his teacher by space and time, so that communication is by print, electronic, or other non-human medium” [12]. So - basic intent of e-learning is a moral good - making education available to those who have been deprived of it because location or expense or other circumstance is the main reason of on-line education. If ethical risks and vulnerabilities have to be acknowledged and to be addressed in the process, mainly eliminating the deepest reasons, legal issues have to be managed creating a best practice in order to protect both trainers and learners. In this way, legal risk management [16] is an innovative methodological approach aimed to integrated legal critical’s management to prevent, or to minimize, the occurrence of legal risks associated with them.
