Abstract-The present study is conducted among 283 students from University of Zabol to identify the harm and ethical and social issues in the field of information technology and to classify the immoral practices that students are doing in this field. First various important issues in the field of IT in the social and ethical areas are discussed. Then the cases considered as the most commonly used immoral activities, are selected for evaluation, and the participants ranked these activities according to the method presented in the questionnaire. These activities are examined and analyzed descriptively by SPSS program, reliability of the questionnaire is measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Bartlett Test of Sphericity and KMO index and the validity of the results is verified using T-test and the results are ranked based on the first performance that happens frequently and the last performance that happens rarely or never.

“…Similarly, learners behave unethically when they hack into a CALL system through security holes to tamper with online test scores or distort a teachers' comments or evaluations. Therefore, when security is weak in an e-learning system, unethical behaviour can easily occur (Prior, Rogerson & Fairweather, 2002). Thus, teachers should be aware of security concerns in the e-learning classroom.…”

Pedagogical theories and the applications of information technology for language learning have been widely researched in various dimensions. However, ethical issues, such as online privacy and security, and learners' personal data disclosure, are not receiving enough research attention. The perceptions and attitudes from those who participate in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)-instructors and learners-towards these issues have been particularly neglected. This research investigated the following issues: privacy protection and learners' personal data disclosure, along with teachers' and students' ethics self-assessments, and their perceptions and ideals of ethical issues in technology-assisted language learning. The results of two surveys of teacher and learner perspectives on these issues are outlined, along with some possible solutions to these ethical problems for teachers who are teaching languages through CALL.

Ethical and moral behaviour in business and society has come into much greater prominence at the beginning of the 21 st century. More specifically, the ever increasing use of information and communications technologies (ICT) has raised a wide variety of ethical issues specific to these technologies. This paper describes the development and delivery of a required Applied Ethics in ICT course in a large hybrid business and ICT undergraduate degree program. It demonstrates that such a course can be delivered effectively with a high level of student engagement, and produces changes in student awareness and attitudes, despite their limited workplace experience.
