Name: Case Analysis Module: Machado
ID: m13787
Language: English (en)
Summary: This module is founded on two insights: the analogy between problem-solving in ethics and design methodology and the effectiveness of case analysis for practicing skills in ethical problem-solving. Students will learn socio-technical system analysis and how to use this analysis to predict the problems likely to accompany the implementation of a new technology or computing system. This module has been developed to test networking potentialities of the EAC Toolkit and Connexions by linking to the materials posted at the Computing Cases website. This module is being developed as a part of an NSF-funded project, "Collaborative Development of Ethics Across the Curriculum Resources and Sharing of Best Practices," NSF SES 0551779.
