Interactive installation for an Educational Ethics Lab
Author(s): Dijk, Willem van (2023)
Abstract:
This report dives into the implementation of ethics in technology teaching in higher education. It goes into the specific difficulties that arise when teaching this ambiguous and very culturally dependent subject. It explores the application of an ethics lab in teaching this subject, possibly with the use of interactive installations. To find out how people can be stimulated to take ethical aspects into consideration and how effective an interactive installation could be to teach such ethical reflection it first explores some different examples of classic ethical dilemmas. A concrete example of such an interactive installation was built and tested in a small case study with a group of minor students. This found some possible validity for the use of such interactive installations. The field is very broad and has many challenges, there is a broad opportunity for further research into such adaptations of interactive installations used in ethics in technology teaching.
