Teaching Computer Ethics with Workshops and the Web

计算机科学（31）做出技术决策的人必须接受教育，以做出良好的道德决策。许多计算机科学系没有明确教授计算机伦理，职业道德或计算机与社会问题。没有足够的CS教师愿意和能够教这样的课程。计算机科学教育的另一个突出问题是该学科在吸引和留住女学生和女教师方面的记录不佳。该项目教育和支持计算机科学教师谁想要教计算机伦理学和谁是在计算机科学领域的性别不平衡的关注。目前正在编制计算机科学专业本科生计算机伦理学网络教材。 这些材料正在与即将出版的第三版黛博拉约翰逊的计算机伦理学紧密结合。这些材料是为在线或面对面，学期或季度以及任何本科水平的课程而设计的。这些材料强调计算机伦理理论和分析技能、职业道德和性别问题。这些材质不会复制现有材质，但在获得许可的情况下会链接到现有材质。 该项目与DUE 9980768合作，DUE 9980768正在根据ImpactCS项目的学习目标指导方针开发案例研究。三年来，每年夏季都会举办为期一周的夏季研讨会，使参与者能够使用网络材料和WebCT来准备他们的计算机伦理课程。教师参与者正在学习道德理论和道德教学，在线教育，评估和评估技术的实践技能。在学年期间，教师可以接触调查人员。教师参与者正在使用调查人员提供的材料和他们自己开发的材料。调查人员和教师参与者正在合作评估材料，因为他们与学生一起使用。 一名评价专家正在进行形成性和总结性评价，以评估在一个共同平台上开发的网络材料的易用性、材料与教科书的结合、教师教授新材料的信心程度，以及通过测试、项目和道德态度调查衡量的学生学习情况。 通过教师讲习班、网站和与教科书一起出版的商业出版物来传播这些材料。

Computer Science (31)People who make technical decisions must be educated to make good ethical decisions. Many computer science departments do not explicitly teach computer ethics, professional ethics, or computers and society issues. Not enough CS faculty are willing and able to teach such courses. Another glaring problem in computer science education is the discipline's poor record for attracting and retaining women students and faculty. This project educates and supports computer science faculty who want to teach computer ethics and who are concerned about the gender imbalance in the field of computer science..Web-based materials for teaching computer ethics to undergraduate computer science majors are being developed. The materials are being closely integrated with the upcoming third edition of Computer Ethics by Deborah Johnson. The materials are designed for classes that are online or face to face, semester or quarter, and at any undergraduate level. The materials emphasize computer ethics theory and analytical skills, professional ethics, and gender issues. These materials do not duplicate existing materials, but, with permission, link to existing materials. This project is working collaboratively with DUE 9980768, which is developing case studies based upon the ImpactCS Project guidelines for learning objectives.Each summer for three years, a week long summer workshop is being conducted to enable participants to use the Web materials and WebCT to prepare their computer ethics class. Faculty participants are learning ethical theory and practice skills in ethics teaching, online education, and evaluation and assessment techniques. During the academic year, faculty have access to the investigators. Faculty participants are using materials provided by the investigators and materials they develop themselves. The investigators and faculty participants are collaborating in evaluation of materials as they are used with students. Formative and summative evaluations are being conducted by an evaluation expert to assess the ease of use of web-based materials developed on a common platform, the integration of materials with the textbook, the level of confidence of faculty to teach the new material, and the student learning as measured by tests, projects and ethical attitude surveys. Dissemination is being accomplished through the faculty workshops, the web site, and commercial publication of the materials in conjunction with the textbook.
