The PIs will develop and pilot test educational materials for teaching ethical and social issues to graduate students in information assurance and security, computer science, and information technology, the main deliverable of the project being a book having four main sections: ownership; privacy; access; and safety, reliability, and liability. The book will present case studies to help students develop their ethical reasoning skills, and to engage students in an enthusiastic understanding of how information assurance and security professionals contribute to the construction of the future. The PIs envision that the final edited book could be used as the text in a stand-alone graduate course in a computing curriculum or an information assurance and security curriculum, or alternatively a chapter at a time as supplementary material throughout a graduate computing curriculum. The PIs' approach differs from existing efforts, in that the structure and theoretical basis of the book will stem from research on moral development in early adulthood as well as constructivist learning theory. That is to say, the PIs' book will address ethical and social issues in a manner that attends to the cognitive, social, and affective aspects of ethical development of human beings during early adulthood, which is the age of most graduate students. The PIs' approach is also unique in that it is specifically targeted at ethical and social issues for the information assurance and security graduate curriculum, which is a growing field. Broader Impacts: The availability of a well designed, evaluated and tested educational resource as described above will help computing programs establish courses and curricula that emphasize ethical development of students. The project is built on the partnership of faculty from nine universities who will serve as developers and/or testers of the book. The home institutions of these faculty include an HSI and an HBCU, and the developer group has ethnic, gender and geographic diversity.

PI将开发和试点测试教育材料，用于向信息保证和安全，计算机科学和信息技术的研究生教授道德和社会问题，该项目的主要成果是一本书，其中有四个主要部分：所有权;隐私;访问;安全性，可靠性和责任。 这本书将介绍案例研究，以帮助学生发展他们的道德推理能力，并让学生热情地理解信息保证和安全专业人员如何为未来的建设做出贡献。 PI设想最终编辑的书可以用作计算课程或信息保证和安全课程中独立研究生课程的文本，或者在整个研究生计算课程中作为补充材料的一章。 PI的方法与现有的努力不同，因为本书的结构和理论基础将源于对成年早期道德发展的研究以及建构主义学习理论。 也就是说，PI的书将以一种关注人类在成年早期道德发展的认知，社会和情感方面的方式来解决道德和社会问题，这是大多数研究生的年龄。 PI的方法也是独特的，因为它是专门针对道德和社会问题的信息保证和安全研究生课程，这是一个不断增长的领域。 更广泛的影响：如上所述的良好设计、评估和测试的教育资源的可用性将帮助计算程序建立强调学生道德发展的课程和课程。 该项目是建立在来自九所大学的教师的合作伙伴关系上的，他们将担任本书的开发人员和/或测试人员。 这些教师的家庭机构包括HSI和HBCU，开发人员群体具有种族，性别和地理多样性。
