为了支持科学和工程中的伦理学教学，教育技术提供了各种功能：学生和教师之间的交流、文件的制作、文件的分发、课堂课程的存档和远程资源的访问。教师可以选择以不同的强度使用这些技术的这些功能，以支持与公认的良好实践相一致的各种教学方法。本文以四个教育技术在理工科伦理学教学中的应用为例，说明了良好的教学实践。教育技术增加了购买硬件、许可软件、雇用支持人员和培训教师的成本。这些好处是否证明了这些成本是合理的，这是一个悬而未决的问题。虽然许多研究人员正在研究教育技术可能带来的好处，但所有教师都应该评估他们实践的有效性。
To support the teaching of ethics in science and engineering, educational technologies offer a variety of functions: communication between students and instructors, production of documents, distribution of documents, archiving of class sessions, and access to remote resources. Instructors may choose to use these functions of the technologies at different levels of intensity, to support a variety of pedagogies, consistent with accepted good practices. Good pedagogical practices are illustrated in this paper with four examples of uses of educational technologies in the teaching of ethics in science and engineering. Educational technologies impose costs for the purchase of hardware, licensing of software, hiring of support personnel, and training of instructors. Whether the benefits justify these costs is an unsettled question. While many researchers are studying the possible benefits of educational technologies, all instructors should assess the effectiveness of their practices.
