After the summer I will teach my course in Computer Ethics at the University of Göteborg. The course tends to cover the typical areas of computer ethics (integrity, property, harmful content, community etc etc). The main problem is getting the students to â??getâ?? that technology has an ethical dimension.
Once the students realise that there is an ethical dimension or problem they tend to react very enthusiastically.
In order to help them â??get itâ?? I am planning something a bit different. I want to get the students blogging and have a minimum requirement of posts in the area we will be covering. The basic idea is that the students will have to find, adapt and post information. Hopefully this process will engage and awaken the students interest.
So I am looking for input:
Does anyone have any similar experience of this?
How successful was it?
What were the pitfalls and strengths?
All feedback will be appreciated…
