Ethics

The session on Thursday 4th June at 3pm (BST) was about Ethics in HCI education.

There are always ethical issues in education, but there are fresh issues that are raised as we move more online or existing ones that come to the fore. How do we manage online student field work? When can/should educators share student work as part of professional sharing of best practice with each other or other students? If (should?) students upload coursework to open platforms such as YouTube, do they know enough about privacy, copyright, etc? Should we encourage this or not? As educators do we know the difference between things (copyright, privacy, etc.) shared in a classroom as opposed to available semi-permanently online? How do we cope with potential plagiarism?

There are also massive issues of digital exclusion, but that seems like a topic on its own, so perhaps another session!
