Section II. TEACHING COURSES IN COMPUTERS, ETHICS, AND SOCIETYEditor:Herman TavaniMaintained by: David VanceCPSR Copyright © 1996
Section 2.1.1 identifies current textbooks that can be used in computers, ethics, and society courses. A select list of contemporary and classic books that can serve either as supplementary course texts or as useful background reading for course preparation is included in Section 2.1.2. This section lists some older textbooks as well as many works which have come to be regarded as classic texts in computers, ethics, and society. Although some of the sources cited in Section 2.1.2 are out of print, most are still available in libraries. Instructors may find some older textbooks--especially those which contain classic readings that are not available in current anthologies--useful in preparing and revising courses in computers, ethics and society. Sources identifying additional teaching resources such as curriculum reports, course syllabi, doctoral dissertations, papers presented at professional conferences and seminars, and video programs designed for teaching courses in computer, ethics, and society are listed in Section 2.2.2.
2.1 Teaching Computers, Ethics and Society: Texts and Resources
Ethical Theory Section 3.1 includes a select list of sources on philosophical ethics and ethical theory. Instructors interested in using a theoretical framework to discuss ethical issues in computing may wish to examine some of the works cited in this section. Section 3.2 lists sources that focus on applying ethical theory -- i.e., integrating theory with practice. Sources that examine the application of ethical theory to some of the broader or more general issues in computers and information technology are identified in Section 3.3. (Works that examine the application of theory to specific ethical issues in the use of computers, however, are cited in the appropriate sections of Part IV.) 2.2 Ethical Theory: A Framework for Teaching Computer Ethics Courses
