A social implications of computing course which “teaches” computer ethics

Published:15 November 1994Publication History

ABSTRACT

Computers are integral to today's world, forming our society as well as responding to it. In recognition of this interaction, as well as in response to requirements by the Computer Science Accrediting Board (CSAB), many schools are incorporating computer ethics and values and addressing the social implications of computing within their curriculum. The approach discussed here is through a separate course, rather than relying on the integration of specific topics throughout the curriculum.
