Computer Science (31) This educational materials development project is creating a set of teaching materials to help instructors in computer science integrate ethical and social issues into the computer science curriculum. Ethical and social issues in computing is an area of great importance to the field of computer science, and is included as a central topic area in Curricula 1991's recommended curriculum (ACM/IEEE Task Force, 1991). The materials consist of a set of extensive historical cases and a Social Impact Analysis (SIA) Resource Kit of methods and tools for doing social impact analysis. This project uses the curriculum guidelines suggested in the ACM/IEEE Computer Society Computing Curricula 1991 and developed more fully under the NSF-funded ImpactCS Project. It continues the work of a proof of concept project by the development of more cases, extension of a rudimentary faculty resource toolkit, more extensive classroom testing of the materials, and collaboration in faculty workshops with the project being directed by Keith Miller at the University of Illinois - Springfield (NSF DUE-9952841). The cases are detailed presentations of the social contexts and ethical issues associated with historical cases in computing. Their design and accompanying materials involve the student in an active role as a computing professional in identifying the issues, investigating them, analyzing ethical choices, and negotiating solutions. The SIA Resource Kit is a guide to instructors and students who wish to investigate the social and ethical issues surrounding an actual or projected implementation of a computing system in an organization. It includes methods for planning the investigation, tools and procedures for collecting data, suggestions for making the data useful for designers and decision makers, and samples of social impact analyses done by students. The cases and SIA Resource Kit are being reviewed by a panel of computer scientists, social scientists, and ethicists, and they are being classroom-tested at multiple sites with diverse student populations. The materials are being introduced to the computer science faculty through a series of summer workshops to be conducted by the collaborating CCLI project DUE 9952841. The materials from this project are being included with the materials from the other project to be disseminated via an interactive web site and as part of a commercially published textbook on computer ethics and social impact.

计算机科学（31）这个教育材料开发项目正在创建一套教材，以帮助计算机科学教师将伦理和社会问题纳入计算机科学课程。计算中的伦理和社会问题是计算机科学领域的一个非常重要的领域，并且作为一个中心主题领域被列入1991年课程推荐课程（ACM/IEEE Task Force, 1991）。这些材料包括一套广泛的历史案例和社会影响分析（SIA）资源包，其中包含进行社会影响分析的方法和工具。该项目使用了ACM/IEEE计算机协会1991年计算机课程中建议的课程指南，并在nsf资助的ImpactCS项目下得到了更充分的发展。它通过开发更多的案例，扩展基本的教师资源工具包，对材料进行更广泛的课堂测试，并与伊利诺伊大学斯普林菲尔德分校的Keith Miller （NSF DUE-9952841）指导的教师研讨会合作，继续进行概念验证项目的工作。这些案例详细介绍了与计算机历史案例相关的社会背景和伦理问题。他们的设计和附带的材料要求学生作为计算机专业人员在识别问题、调查问题、分析道德选择和协商解决方案方面发挥积极作用。SIA资源包是一份指南，供希望调查组织中实际或计划实施计算系统的社会和道德问题的教师和学生使用。它包括计划调查的方法，收集数据的工具和程序，使数据对设计师和决策者有用的建议，以及学生所做的社会影响分析的样本。这些案例和SIA资源包正在由一个由计算机科学家、社会科学家和伦理学家组成的小组进行审查，并在多个地点的不同学生群体中进行课堂测试。这些材料将通过CCLI合作项目DUE 9952841举办的一系列夏季研讨会介绍给计算机科学学院。这个项目的材料与另一个项目的材料一起，将通过一个互动网站分发，并作为商业出版的计算机伦理和社会影响教科书的一部分。
