This report presents the results of a collaborative working group activity focusing on the use of information technology (IT) to integrate social and ethical issues within computer science or information systems courses. The report provides an organizational approach for classifying exercises, based on the issue each one addresses and the course or courses in which it may fit. The exercises in this report are classified by the information technology to be used and the course or courses addressed by the exercise. Ten sample exercises are provided, each given in a recommended standardized format.
The recommendations of the ACM Curriculum Committee on Information Systems indicate an attempt to keep abreast of both curricular changes in academia and job skill demands of the computing profession. As tie needs of both changed, new recommendations were made. The latest modell published in 1981, was the culmination of a process to update the ACM 1973 recommendations for undergraduate programs.It has been more than a decade however, since the publication of the 1981 model curriculum. Much has changed over the last dozen years in the job skills demands of undergraduate students and the curricular offerings of universities. The makeup of information systems has changed quite dramatically, with an increasing use of microcomputers and advances in telecommunications as evidence. As part of the process to keep the information
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
