Teaching "Computers & Society" - The Medium and The Message
نویسنده
چکیده
Of late there has been a concerted move within the computer science community to have courses on computers & ethics, or computers & society, given more prominence within the computer science curriculum. However as reported by Jewett (1996), and others, there are a number of significant challenges faced in teaching such courses. These include their inter-disciplinary nature, unsuitability for the traditional lecture format, large class sizes and less than total support for such courses from within the computer science community.
