Introducing computer ethics into the computing curriculum: two very different experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ubiquitous computing and global connectivity via the internet and the worldwide web raise new ethical as well as social questions and issues, and often require new interpretations of, and a fresh look at existing ones. In this paper we consider the teaching of Computer Ethics (CE) to our computing students. We review issues such as why the teaching of CE is important, how this should be done in a systematic and integrated fashion, and we then present two different experiments undertaken at our institution.
