大规模在线开放课程（MOOCs）代表了一个潜在的激动人心的机会，它可以利用技术来实现普及高等教育的许多长期承诺的好处。尽管正在提供和正在开发的mooc有许多积极的方面，但各种举措也引发了重大的道德问题。这些包括学术责任的关怀和诚信，对学习者的商业剥削，以及由学者和机构所做的分析和其他工作引起的研究伦理问题。本文对这些问题进行了探讨，并为个人和机构提供了一系列启发，作为对mooc和相关活动进行道德分析的起点。
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) represent a potentially exciting opportunity to use technology to realise many of the long-promised benefits of universal higher education. While there are many positive aspects to the MOOCs on offer and in development, there are also significant ethical concerns arising from various initiatives. These include the academic duties of care and integrity, commercial exploitation of learners, as well as research ethics concerns arising from the analytical and other work being done by academics and institutions. These issues are explored and a set of heuristics for individuals and institutions provided as a starting point for ethical analysis of MOOCs and associated activities.
