A Framework for teaching Ethics to ICS Students and Practitioners using Open Educational Resources
| Published | 2009 |
| Publisher | HEA Subject Centre for Information and Computer Sciences |
ABSTRACT
This project has exploited findings of a pilot study funded by The Open University's (OU) CETL known as COLMSCT (Centre for Open Learning of Maths, Science, Computing and Technology http://open.ac.uk/colmsct) and carried out under the auspices of OpenLearn (http://www.open.ac.uk/openlearn), the OU's open content initiative. The project has used the experience gained in that study to create a multimedia self-study course introducing ethics in ICS to advanced students and practitioners. The course has been made openly and freely available as an OpenLearn unit that can be studied, re-used and re-purposed by the wider community involved in the area.| Keywords | drama · emotions · ethics · professional practice · rhetoric |
