Computing and information professionals face growing ethical challenges as information technology brings more individuals, organizations, and cultures together. A new grant from the National Science Foundation to a research team led by Dr. Kenneth R. Fleischmann of the University of Maryland will help to prepare computing and information professionals to confront these ethical challenges. The University of Maryland is the lead organization for the collaborative grant, which includes Dr. Fleischmann, Dr. Russell W. Robbins of Marist College, and Dr. William A. Wallace of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The grant provides a total of $300,000 of funding over three years, and is one of Dr. Fleischmann’s five currently active grants from the National Science Foundation. The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate an educational simulation for computing and information ethics, which can be used in both online and face-to-face educational environments, and which will feature both individual interaction with ethical agents and group collaboration across different degree programs and cultural backgrounds. As part of this project, Dr. Fleischmann has developed a new course in Information Ethics that was recently added to the extremely diverse and multidisciplinary course offerings of the College of Information Studies, which he has taught in the fall of 2007 and the spring of 2008. This ongoing research builds on Dr. Fleischmann’s prior research on educational simulation design and use, also funded by the National Science Foundation, which has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, The Information Society, Educational Technology and Society, Society and Animals, and First Monday.
