Integrating Computer Ethics Across the Curriculum

跨学科（99）通过在整个课程中整合计算机伦理学，该项目解决了以下问题：1)在课堂上增加教学技术的使用；2)在线远程教育项目招生人数的增长；3)需要提高妇女和代表性不足的少数群体在计算机方面的伦理、社会和法律问题的知识；4)技术与其他学科之间的联系有限。工作计划是：1)开发跨学科设计的模块，并利用Mercy学生的生活经验为学院提供的所有通识教育课程；2)开发针对在线远程学习课程具体问题的模块；3)在教师研讨会日为Mercy学院的所有课程设计道德模块；4)为其他高校的教师设计并开展在线研讨会；5)为计算机信息专业开设一门新课程。这些课程改进的目的是：1)增加对计算机伦理学和相关社会和法律问题知识渊博的学生的多样性，以便所有人都能以公平的方式获得技术的回报；2)强调口头、书面和批判性思维能力，同时注重计算机伦理学的跨学科联系。为了完成这项工作，我们正在改编一系列以前开发的材料，并通过美国国家科学基金会的支持向社区提供。这些材料包括计算机伦理和计算机社会方面的一系列案例研究。这门课程包括一个在线团队授课模块，由德保罗大学的一名教员授课，以及两所大学的学生之间的合作项目。

Interdisciplinary (99)By integrating computer ethics across the curriculum, this project addresses the following concerns: 1) the increased use of instructional technology in the classroom; 2) the growth of enrollment in online distance education programs; 3) the need to improve the knowledge of ethical, social and legal issues in computing of women and underrepresented minorities; and 4) the limited ties between technology and other disciplines. The workplan is to: 1) develop modules that are interdisciplinary in design and that capitalize on the life experiences of Mercy students for all the general education courses offered at the College; 2) develop modules addressing the specific issues of online distance learning courses; 3) lead workshops on designing ethics modules for all courses for the Mercy faculty on a faculty seminar day; 4) design and conducting an online workshop for faculty at other colleges and universities; and 5) develop a new course for computer information science majors. These curriculum enhancements are designed to: 1) increase the diversity of students who are knowledgeable about computer ethics and the related social and legalissues so the rewards of technology can be reaped by all in an equitable manner, and 2) emphasize oral, written and critical thinking competencies while focusing on the interdisciplinary connections of computer ethics.In order to accomplish this work, we are adapting a range of materials previously developed and made available to the community via NSF support. These materials include a range of case studies in computer ethics and the social aspects of computing.This course includes an online team-taught module with a faculty member of DePaul University and student-student collaborative projects from the two institutions.
