Published: 14 June 2007 Publication History

Abstract

A coursework with students of the first year of a business informatics curriculum within a course "Ethical Aspects of Informatics" will be presented in this paper. Lectures and exercises for this course both include discussions on presented subjects, putting the emphasis on individual opinions, i.e. personal apprehension of ethics. Part of the material during the course is presented by selected students, volunteers. Using an e-Learning support system Moodle, all of the teaching material is available on the web-site of Department of Mathematics and Informatics of the Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad. According with the Bologna processes the course employs continual assessment of students.
