Teaching Computer Ethics

Highlights of Group Discussions
Before giving a brief overview of each group’s discussions, I will take the liberty of including some personal observations. As coordinator, I visited each of the four small groups during their discussions. Each group had its own personality, goals, and protocol. At least when I was there, some groups focussed on writing positions, and others emphasized discussions. There seemed to be intense interest in knowing how people in different circumstances approached both the subject and the pedagogy of computer ethics.
In my pitifully short encounters with each group I was struck by the number of times people would stop and reflect on what was said; it indicated to me that people were not just talking and debating – they were learning from each other as well. My short reports here cannot do justice to that aspect of these four groups: the learning that went on during the hours of group meetings and the informal discussions that went on after the discussions.
The overviews given below are drawn from written materials by the groups themselves and (in some cases) from my own notes taken during a group’s session. I have done some editing of the materials given to me by the groups. Any errors or omissions are my responsibility.
